Largely ignorant buyers of mass-market, commodified devices lead to intense cost wars that shed features that aren't "essential." If a buyer wants ECC in a laptop or desktop, typically they have to purchase a workstation-class machine that costs 4-5x of low-budget models.
Memory issues can be caused by the PSU, motherboard, the CPU, or the memory itself. Personally, I always run memtest86 and memtest86+ for 2 days on any new components.
The mitigation of bitsquatting requires ECC in network gear also. Furthermore, ECC isn't just about the memory type but having integrity in data buses, caches, storage, and network protocols also.
Home system is 96 thread, 512 GiB (16 x 32GB ECC Registered DDR4-3200), numerous SSDs and HDDs running RAID.
