Hardware may perform more operations per second, but inefficient software remains inefficient, and it's still wasting roughly the same amount of energy as it did on slower hardware, and waste only accumulates, skewing the performance of the rest of the system. That inefficiency gets multiplied by millions or billions of units worldwide that run this software.
