we make microelectronics as complex as we can because 128 bits would be better than 64 bits, and floating point, and parallelism, pipelining, speculative execution, and caches, etc.
we already make microelectronics as small as we know how, because speed of light makes a difference, and power dissipation also.
and our chips, already completely consumed by the tasks we give them, are too big to fit your definition of flexibility not mattering.
So-ooo-o, if our chips were flexible it would solve the problem we are both trying to solve, which will not be solved your way, except in some uncertain future.
