As industries grow too large sweeping changes become more difficult. There are too many dependencies in the current tech stack for computers. Processor architectures, people used to certain UIs, lots of jobs dependent on the status quo. Society may have caught up with the possibilities of yesterday's computers, jumping on social networks, ubiquity of devices, but the tech stack itself is stuck. The most recent opportunity to move it forward are mobile devices. Companies are finally rethinking the OS (iOS, ChromeOS), compilers (LLVM), processor architectures (ARM, integrated graphics). Kasparov probably thinks such steps should not be driven by market forces alone, but by technologists interested in experimentation. The right market conditions came about after decades of the same old more MHz, more HD space rat race. The market is not fast enough, it has other priorities, like getting the products to everybody. Our biggest technological leaps came about when people with vision got others to invest big. The Industrial Revolution in 1800s, World Wars, Manhattan Project, Space race, PCs, GUIs, .COM bubble, GPS, CERN, LHC etc.. were all obnoxiously big gambles. These have become less popular, people prefer mindless market driven evolutionary change instead of vision.
