You're really projecting if you think normal people give a crap about expensive abstractions or even speed of development. Most of those "abstractions" and "development" are working against the user anyway: most webpages have not added features in more than 20 years but still require more power because developers can't get their shit together. Speed is the reason people bought SSDs. It's the whole core of Apple's M1 Marketing. It's probably the biggest reason why people buy new computers. Lack of speed is the reason I had to throw away my Smart TV after 8 years of useless upgrades. People pay more for faster internet because they want more movies in bigger quality or to download big things faster. Not because they give a crap about your shitty app. > Unless you have a performance issue that’s really pathological, speed really doesn’t matter for most applications And that's only true because developers are constantly forcing hardware developers and customers to throw money at the problem.
