>What software you run, and how you use it, are also big factors. The Web is the same for everyone. So is stuff like browsers and webapps like Teams, G-Suite, Office 365, Youtube, Spotify, Facebook, flight bookign sites, etc. The UX difference between those pages/apps running on a core 2 duo and a modern machine is stratosferic. Even bigger when you have same other stuff in the background like a torrent downloader, dropbox client, messengers, etc. You are free to say it doesn't bother you, but the difference is definitely there and palpable for everyone. Of course, if your core 2 duo laptop is the Ship of Theseus with everything on it maxxed out and only the chip being the old original part, sure I can believe the difference is smaller, but like I said, that's not really representative for most core 2 due systems of their era which definitely show their age today.
