It's bit like "shrinkflation" where you get less for the same cost because that reduces producers' expenses. In software we get the same functionality as 20 years before on similarly priced hardware. But we don't get the speed-benefits we could and should expect. This may be because software producers prefer making things easy for themselves by using ever larger libraries. It reduces their costs but makes software slower?
