Limited nothing. I seem to recall a time when Mac's were banned from exporting to certain countries specifically because of their advanced architecture. I can expand my Mac's physical hardware capabilities (Storage, Memory) just as easily as I can my PC.
Storage and memory? You think that's all that can be added to a computer? Have you heard of video cards (up to date ones not the one of two obsolete junk you can get for the last real MacPro), i/o cards, co-processors, and dozens of other PCI-E cards?

As for ease of use and viruses, there are more secure and just as easy Linux variants. Macs get Viruses and in many ways are less secure than patched Windows 8.1 machines.

Not a point we need to argue. It's well known Microsoft supports operating systems far longer than they probably should which BTW stifles innovation on their part. Mac's don't have this problem. ;-)
It's called supporting business and allowing the poor to have working computers for years.

Put down the Apple Koolaid

Compassionately conserving much?
