> Why can't I just get any computer with no operating system installed whatsoever.

This is illegal in many countries, as a computer isn't bootable in that situation.

Citation? I buy all sorts of things that don't do anything until you configure/assemble/connect them.

I heard already several times that if you sell a full PC, then it was to be working when it is bought.

Computer parts are not full PCs.

I'll check if I can find any example.

yeah what about something like the raspberry pi that doesnt even have built in storage?

Those are not full PCs you buy in a consumer shop.

If the definition is that specific, then the solution is simple; just don't sell them as "full PCs".
