I see what you're saying, but also think it misses the point of where this is all going. An IPhone 12 is an enormously powerful computer, but it's not at all one that is accessibly programmable to Repl.it devs. Similarly, it's possible to run 30k sentiment analysis examples in a minute on a IPhone, but actually doing so would take a skilled dev weeks to implement (because it's not designed to do that!).
Our computer systems have got ludicrously more powerful, and software development has in a sense become ludicrously more inefficient, but computing is a wonderful culture of abundance and _easy and fast enough_ almost always wins over _difficult, faster, and efficient_.
