You of course know this already but it's not the machines that are wasteful, but rather the software we run on them and - by extension - the developers who create that software.
UI latency is a never ending source of frustration to me, in large part, because it simply shouldn't exist with the computing power we have at our fingertips.
On the other hand we have Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Teams that are both absolute bastions of waste and instability. And not just in compute terms either, but in terms of my time - the finite number of breaths and heartbeats I have left - that is squandered in waiting around, restarting, rebooting my machine, because of these unstable, crashy behemoths.

Also bad user interfaces, and bad documentation, and too complicated designs, and many other problems. I prefer without all of that stuff; it looks better to me and can be worked better too if it is done in the less wasteful way, I think.
