All of this contributes to low potential for long term collectibility and poor value retention although I guess they make fine everyday watches if that’s what you want in a watch.

Sorry, I disagree entirely.. Grand complications, complications, calatravas and even Nautilus also come in many variations so why just pick on AC? They serve a purpose in the product offerings of Patek.
Value retention generally speaking in PP range is only Nautilus and selected reference ( most of them discontinued like 5970s, 5070s ). Other than these, most of them don't really hold value well.
