I agree with you on your point, people tend to tinker with their daily driver less than days gone by.
Also more often new builders are fed exagerations on how much skill, time and money it takes to build by the kit builders and also how well developed the kit is.
One major benefit to the industry recently IMO is the forums and private build sites, these can be invaluable to any builder and should be encouraged by manufacturers, However I do know some ask their builders not to do a site so they don't look bad which is a worry.
(I am deliberatelly not refering at all to my last kit)
