I wouldn't call it hubris but lack of universal knowledge of the exponential nature of development. That was before I saw the universal lack of just this comprehension in the comments. What people may mean is that a jump from 10^5 to 10^6 can feel bigger than a jump from 10^6 to 10^7? And that we are more surprised by large things than by some small piece of 'magical paper' which can completely change its display at will.
