The end of Moore's law is a blessing in disguise imho.
For too long, software has been written to make inefficient use of hardware, and/or designed with only next quarter's profit in mind. Based on the implicit assumption that faster hardware is just around the corner, and will make crappy software look decent. Security, frugal use of resources, reliability, maintenance, most anything was sacrificed in order to put products/services out there asap. Once out there, a continuous upgrade treadmill, and 3..5y later it's ewaste / bitrotted away.
We can put more compute in a few mm^2 than any human ever needs, at ridiculous low cost. It's about time the software world gets a breather, makes slow UIs fast again, and does some rework to dump the GBs of crap that populates today's systems.
