No, I'd say the gp is talking more about "hidden TCO" (Total Cost of Ownership).
Opportunity Cost is about finite time which forces the choice of one action to come at the expense of other alternative actions.
Hidden TCO is being ignorant of auxiliary costs of the base products (accessories, maintenance, etc.) An extreme example of that is a "free puppy" can become one of the most expensive items to own especially when you're uneducated about the true TCO of dogs. I.e. In addition to obvious vet bills, going on a vacation now means you have to pay for a dog sitter which you didn't initially account for. Owning recreational boats is another example of hidden TCO.
