Irina - You are correct! There is one more critical component. It is the CONTINUOUS (DYNAMIC) INTERACTION among software, electronics, and mechanical hardware elements that causes significant degradation leading to variety of failure modes difficult to diagnose. This causes the reliability to reduce to a point, when the user becomes heavily dependent on a centralized system for frequent repairs or replacement thus leading to the cost of ownership and significant increase in use of fossil fuel (primary foundational energy source) to mitigate these reliability problems....I do not think this is a viable solution by any means.
