This.

I love modding / tinkering but I've got several other projects that consume my time with that already. I used to compile my own Linux kernels and stuff for fun but I just can't bother anymore and pretty much anything I can tweak someone else has done already - easier to just download it. Same with building PCs. Did it for years. Now easier to just grab my MacBook or iPad and blast away on whatever I need it for. It's already done and it's worth paying a few extra bucks to not deal with the hassle of having to tweak every little thing.
