New hardware will always happen, i still own a bunch of 290's from back in 2014, they're still running rock solid.
But i get the point. What could and would be interesting in this story is perhaps the fact that these mx gpu's might be replacable by new gen mx cards. But i'm not very sure about that though. Would be ideal!

This is where a PC is more modular and cost savings come into play if the cards are NOT upgradable. Perhaps the manufacturers could comment on the ability to upgrade the cards.

You can compare this somehow with "antminers", you buy them, you plug them in and let them run and shout.
After a while they get old, you can't replace them, like you can with "single" gpu's. You can however replace them by buying new ones..

That's where the pandaminer story is a bit better.
It will last longer as you will always be able to mine other algo's, no you probably won't be the fastest after a while but you will be able to be profitable none the less.

The bigger difference is the fact that you might be able to upgrade those mx cards

(not yet totally clear, but there is a chance..)

The only fact i do completely agree on is the resale value of regular GPU's, which is a lot better
