Sorry to tell you this, but that road doesn’t go there.
Current hardware could run 10.0 like lightning.
As hardware improves, software rises to meet it. Maybe it’s because they can spend less effort on optimizing, or maybe it’s to add new features (like automatically running your photos through ML is the background, or continuously indexing the contents of every file in your entire hard drive), or maybe it’s because they want to add more layers of control (the protections around video playback), or maybe new layers of abstraction such as API calls instead of direct access to the hardware.
Whatever it is, we’ve seen the trends across every tech and almost every company for at least the past 30 years.
