I don't think they do, most "office worker" computer resources are way over provisioned, at least in the developed countries. Does resource consumption matters to me? yes, but that is because I compile stuff, run VMs, do simulations, like many other developers. My grandma or dad at his office? they could do just fine with 1/10th of their resources. This is not an argument for wastefulness, but the reality of business world and the value of computing resources.
