The reasons are bloody obvious, who would want strangers poking around the blinkenlights.
Why it is so big?
It’s either that or seats or kerosene. There is not enough room for seats, and it’s not an acceptable place to store kerosene (too dangerous in case of crash and can cause stability issues as the volume of kerosene decreases while flying).
One explanation could be that the certification process for anything aviation related is so expensive and slow that we're actually looking at tech from 15+ years ago.
So the next breed of terrorists will likely be those who’ll take over the flight avionics while on the plane? Laptops to be banned soon
Later in the video at 4:48 approx he demonstrates the nav computer GUI in the cockpit and I cringed when he used the touchscreen and there was a lag of about 2-5 (!) seconds after every interaction. My... god.... I kind of almost heard the mechanical drive seeking and reading and searching the heavily fragmented map data...
Probably because it is 10 year old older hardware but thoroughly tested. Using Chrome/JS/CSS on the latest Ryzen might be neat but when you need to transport 300 passengers daily around there is other sort of concerns then taking up 3 folks to the ISS every 6 months.

How would you plug your Macbook into the plane's network?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The entertainment electronics are in the headrests so that the kids behind you can regularly hit your headrest for your convenience.
I believe there are also some boxes under every other seat row that hold the small servers and disks for the thin clients in the headrest.
