Eli5 why do computers get slower over times even if properly maintained?

I’m talking defrag, registry cleaning, browser cache etc. so the pc isn’t cluttered with junk from the last years. Is this just physical, electric wear and tear? Is there something that can be done to prevent or reverse this?

Another good one nobody seems to have mentioned. Dust. Give your old pc a good Hoover out occasionally. Make sure it has good air flow, clean the fan and the filters if it has them.
