As described on the Wikipedia page, exactly how does
slower memory which costs more $$$/GB benefit the user?

As a computer systems engineer (with an actual computer engieering
educaation), I'm scratching my head on this...

Sounds like more Microsloth marketing hype....and now, with
built-in quick-destroy memory, so as to prompt the unsuspecting
new computer owner to buy a new computer even MORE often
(thereby increasing the purchase of more Microsloth licenses
because the machines are designed to self-destruct....)
