My niece had a Mac for 10 years and it never broke. If I get a reasonable use out it I will be satisfied .
I have a 2009 iMac with a 4 core i7 chip that I just made usable again by installing an SSD in the DVD drive bay, runs great for most everything that the home user actually does on a computer.
Everyone is not a gamer or videographer, they just do web browsing, email and maybe chat or face time and the 12 year old iMac does that without breaking a sweat. Many power users invade these threads with nonsense that applies to about two percent of users.
