Referring to arrowlake as an upgrade is to say the least a bit disingenuous

I hope it's not $26k with only a Core Ultra 7 265K CPU in it...

I look at pre-builts like these and all I see is a big FU to PC enthusiasts that build their own systems: no need to learn how to build a PC or how to choose the right parts, you can just throw money at the problem instead.
Love the case design, though.

To be fair though, not everybody has the wherewithal to build their own PC. We on this forum are the minority. We eat, sleep and breathe PC hardware and DIY. Most people don't. We might think building a PC is easy, but a lot of people are very intimidated by the thought of having to pick their own parts and actually build the thing correctly. Others simply can't be bothered.
