future years, who is going to go to a museum to watch a board of
integrated circuits sit there?

How is that any different to looking at a load of baked clay?

While I agree with much of your post, there are already examples of
old computer equipment on display in museums. It is often a
non-working exhibit, but there are examples of working exhibits,
Bletchley Park being the best known example.

Theres some in the science museum but its a pretty half hearted effort.
The difference engine replica is worth seeing though.
