Isn't this just the same as processors? We used to primarily care about GHz and GBs, but there were diminishing returns for continuing to grow those. As a result, processors started shifting to multiple cores, but still usually hovering in the same GHz range. Meanwhile RAM total size might be the same in your current machine as it was a decade ago, but bandwidth and clock rates have drastically increased since Weird Al wrote that song. A similar thing happens with digital cameras and megapixels. It wasn't that things stopped improving, it is that the old measure of improvement has been de-emphasized in favor of other factors that have proved to be more important for normal use.
