I don’t think OP was being particularly serious. There is a real issue though, the programs being made expand to use the resources available - devices are more powerful so developers can choose to be lazy and rely on the faster hardware rather than coding more efficiently.
That’s a fair enough assessment. We see it with the PC all the time, thankfully it’s not as bad with servers. PCs though everything is just bloated because the hardware is fast enough to handle it, so it creates a shitload of ewaste because old stuff stops being able to run newer software efficiently.
