One thing that struck me as I read through was that the computational cost for TLS 1.3 is so expensive that it becomes infeasible to run on the slower machines, resulting in timeouts and failed connections while setting them up.
Yet those old machines had full GUI OSes and performant apps and snappy interactivity in their day. Is the sheer amount of computation required to facilitate TLS 1.3 really more than what was needed to run entire interactive GUI operating systems of that era?

Kind of mind boggling if so.
