It
is ridiculous, but I can't help but think of cars.
I had a car a couple years back, where I had to get behind the side panel of the trunk to get to something (tail light?). The (ford) trunk panel was not held on by a screw, but y a weird fastener that had to be pried out (and I felt like I was breaking it). When it was out, the fastener looked like a christmas tree, and went into a hole easily in one direction and the design really didn't support coming out very well.
Turns out all cars are designed this way. They are "designed for assembly". Pretty much everything in the world is that way or moving that direction.
I think the computer equivalent is package managers and app upgrades and os upgrades and modular data.
But it's different. "designed for assembly" for cars becomes "designed for re-install" and the more troubling "designed for one-way upgrade"
