Seriously, it's 2024. I would never put a spinning HDD in my PC.

Also ram/ssd slower, but that is not a big impact, referb is not new
Also 4070 about 40% more expensive.

The picture clearly shows a HDD in the case. It also says 7200 RPM, and the item description itself says HDD.

Magnetic storage is still far more reliable than flash memory and carries unrivaled storage density.
Try recovering data from an SSD versus a HDD and you'll see why data centers haven't converted over to SSD fully.
Moreover, modern hard drives are not as slow as you assume. They've increased the cache and storage density per platter, so seek times are well within access times of a mid-range SSD. Also, RAID exists.
If you aren't installing a HDD as a secondary drive for all of your files that won't benefit from an SSD (of which, I guarantee there are thousands), you're simply not using your computer to its full potential.
A lot of those features went away with modern conventions (removable bays, for instance), so it's mostly just aesthetics and very minor things like removable motherboard trays or channels for wire routing.
The CPU heatsink is also pretty bog-standard. So it shouldn't present a need to be upgraded unless other factors dictate (environment, wanting to overclock).
However, if you have a system that can handle a 3090, Microcenter had a deal on one for $700.
That 24GB of vRAM would be a beast at stable diffusion.
