ELI5; Why do electronics in general start messing up over time?

if there are no moving parts in electronics and computers can only do what they’re coded to do an nothing more than what makes them slow and buggy over time?

There is some physical degradation that happens in the electronics: corrosion and heat are two big factors.  

What you probably are experiencing though is added complexity. As programs and operating systems get more and more complex, they require more and more resources to do those complicated things. Without additional hardware, the experience seems slower. 

It’s kind of like if your one man lemonade stand expanded to include all the menu items of a chick fil a bit you didn’t build a proper restaurant with a large enough kitchen and drive through to serve all your new customers. You’d have a line around the block at your folding table, and the experience would be excruciatingly slow for customers. But it’s not because your folding table lost a leg - you’ve just got a grossly more complex operation.

And with more and more complex things to do come more opportunities for “bugs” (aka screwups). At your lemonade stand there are only a few mistakes you can make - wrong amount of sugar/water/lemons, spilling drink, etc.  But at chick fil a there are seemingly limitless things that can go wrong - cooking mistakes and cash register failures and leaks in the roof and clogged toilets and things you never thought of in your lemonade stand days.
