Very true BUT yet in hw terms most systems are NOT designed for LOM indeed, and that's on purpose because LOM means also the need of open standards for interoperability and OEM likes to keep their own lock-in.
Hell, most people even fails to understand how ridiculous are 99% of "modern" OSes who offer no option for a declarative config or a SIMPLE automatic deploy, relaying on classic "archives unpacking on a filesystem" for installers/packages, no built-in replication, no built-in orchestration. No mobos ready to "offer a 'BIOS' access via built-in LOM if a dedicated cable is plugged in, plug and play" etc.
Not to talk about the sorry state of conferencing where from a legacy but at least universal SIP/RTP standard we have switched to walled gardens, walled gardens TO COMMUNICATE, because as anyone know to talk to others walls are good tools.
Just take a looks at how many companies push remote desktop simply because they have no easy solution to properly manage remote workers desktops natively.
Yes networked desktop computing was lost in time on purpose, pushing "cloud+mobile" to push substantial lock-in and no personal ownership, for the sake of giants who NEED THE OFFICE to keep the city up where they can handle people like puppets, but so far they almost succeed everywhere and most people allow them to succeed.
