How about, "if material science advanced as fast as computers, there would be 30% better insulation and 30% cheaper way to build 30% more efficient buildings every year". Software is not build on as stable of a basis because hardware changes and more is possible. E.g.: with on-device ML possibilities you can now do way more things, but now we also need to figure out how to best do them. The fact that we have more cores mean that we can serve more clients by a single machine, in-theory, but we also need to rewrite everything in parallel.
When was the last time it was "worth it" to tear down a 10 year old building because rebuilding one would save enormous amount of money in a couple of years?
I think there is a balance to find in both, I'm not saying we should rush into everything, but expecting that everything is always super stable, would absolutely end up in the nice features being available later than technically possible.
