It’s complicated. The NUCs had a lot of inevitable catastrophic hardware failures, like NIC ports that would break. Their problem is they were not good.

100% of the Broadwell NUCs, AFAIK, eventually have the problem, but many were trashed before they did. These issues persisted for years, such as with 10th and 12th generation NUCs. Search "proxmox nuc NIC not working".
Broadwell is gonna broadwell. I won't ever trust their NICs ever again. They've been way too much pain with them both personally and professionally.
Their firmware is crap quality, and their bugs are just absolutely astoundingly bad.
At one job we literally had to fix their firmware for them after several months of back-and-forth, engineers spotted the absurdly obvious bug in minutes of seeing their code.
How is a ethernet port breaking "inevitable"?
