What is the purpose of any kind of upgrade........


What is the purpose of any kind of upgrade option given directly by manufacturer?
{For example some manufacturers have a cap upgrade option in their amplifiers}

1. The manufacturer doesn't have enough knowledge, he found out later the sound may be improved by some kind of upgrade.
2. This is done on purpose to take money out of customer's pocket.

Did you ever think about it? I don't get it.
Why should one buy anything that is upgradable? Does it say that the original component isn't good enough?. Why should I buy such a product anyway and pay again for something that was already paid?
Any ideas welcome, sane comments please.

Mamba, I've upgraded my turntable through the years as the improvements bacame available. I'm glad I did. I've owned the piece for almost 20 years and it performs equally with what is available new today. Upgradeability is a strong reason to buy an item in my book.
