Hello. Many of the older thinkpads were regarded as being peak for the ability to repair and easily see into them at both the hardware and software levels.
I was wondering, what PC, if any, is similar in this regard? Aside from building your own PC ofc. Any opinions are welcome. Thank you.

That only applies to a large corporation with contracts.
If it’s not something that can go in a slot for Dell HP and Lenovo there is no upgrade. They aren’t going to swap an upgraded CPU because Dell doesn’t do official bios patches to upgrade old PC’s to cpus that come out later. Nor can you get a new motherboard dropped in an old Dell/HP/Lenovo chassis because of the power supply requirements/changes.
Edit: I couldn’t even put a modern GPU in my old Dell Xeon because the power supply didn’t put out the watts. I had to find a weird Dell to ATX converter cable off of eBay and Dremel the Dell case a little so the regular ATX would fit.
