Why have they locked us in to CPU and graphics cards.

Total size, total thickness, electrical connection reliability, and ability to spread heat throughout the PCB are the primary reasons that they solder the CPU and GPU onto the motherboard.  Forced product upgrades is an added benefit for them, but is not the only reason.
 
If you look at laptops with upgradeable CPUs and GPUs, they are big and thick.  It's not a coincidence that they aren't smaller and thinner.
 

 
If you want a laptop with upgradeable CPU and GPU, look at Clevo laptops.  Clevo makes them, but they have models sold under a bunch of different brands including Sager, XoticPC, the old Alienware models, OriginPC, Eurocom, and a bunch of other brands.
