Thus far in this thread nobody has offered any counterpoint to the speed argument.
The first PC we bought at home was a 133MHz Pentium.
My current box is a Ryzen 3700 at 16*3.6GHz.
It doesn't feel like I have that much more power at my disposal doing everyday things. Web browsers aren't 400 times faster today than Internet Explorer was in 1995.
They should be. Even if you account for all the extra stuff that's going on today things should be at least 50 times faster. Why aren't they?
