They may not care about how much RAM it is using, but the blatant disregard for resource usage manifests in other ways. Most people I know are just resigned to believe their 4GB RAM laptop will be obsolete in a few years. When things "get slow" it means chuck the whole computer. I do think that the recklessness to which we use our virtual resources contributes to e-waste, which is a physical problem.

Why is a cheap printer about the same price as the cartridges? Our throwaway, built-in-obsolescence approach to product development is definitely a problem, but I think it's pretty obvious that the causes reach far beyond the use of resource-intensive UI frameworks.
