Exactly my thoughts. I got my machine in 2017 and have replaced enough parts to make a ship of Theseus argument. Most of them weren’t even due to wear, I just like rebuilding her. On top of that, every other printer I know is either all diy or kit built. I can’t imagine this will stop anyone who genuinely wants to do harm.

This.
My first and only 3D printer to this day is an Ender 5.
But that Ender 5 is now partially converted to a ZeroG Mercury and the only thing that will be left original at the end will be the frame and some screws.
