It probably has something to do with mass-production for a mass audience (not that they'll even succeed here). Look at the success of smartphones and compare their capabilities to full powered computers. They want to make it up on volume, so you have a quantity over quality dynamic of iOS-ified lowering of productive capacity.
>When I'm moving or spending time with friends, I try to put away all devices, and expect everyone to do the same. Also, I hate notifications and pop ups, and definitely don't want them on my face. On the other hand, when I'm alone, I want to immerse myself in CAD, programming or games, and I want to use the most capable devices and software. Only PCVR and Vision Pro are devices which might elevate the experience beyond of what we have today.
Yea, very respectable usage of technology and I relate completely, but our type is a minority of the addressable market. So toy-computers is what will be produced. This is the pessimistic reality of "democratization of technology". It makes you miss the glory days when the main target market for computers was more advanced users. Offerings for that segment could be a larger portion of sales and would thus get focus from product development that would lack today's lowest-common-denominator designs.
