Even people who build their own computers usually buy all the RAM they want at the time that they're building it.

The biggest difference to them is likely the feeling that they're losing their ability to upgrade, more than the actual upgrade itself. I still think that feeling is an important factor, though.

Biggest difference is that defective RAM can cost you a lot more imo.

Yes, but statistically it’ll be caught during the return or warranty period, and then RAM failures are extremely rare after that.
