I think that's because Moore's law is dead since about 2005 (?) and all optimistic predictions (Kurzweil etc) pretty much assumed it lasting decades longer. As a consequence we live in an age of technological stagnation since roughly 2008. Better smartphones but that's mostly it - no significant changes in daily life except for taxi apps. Show any nerd from 2008 life in 2022 - and they would get depressed. Hopefully this decade is better - ubiquitous satellite internet, self driving cars, brain implants, maybe even fusion power plants (ARC)? Self driving cars and brain implants would be truly revolutionary for daily life.
