I feel like the "past" is a shorter timeline for you than it is for me.
For all the examples mentioned in the parent article, PCs were significantly under-powered compared to workstations, much less main frames.
An explosion of hardware development between 2005 and 2020 has lead to an era where hardware outperformed software needs. Now software is catching up.
But there have always been use cases for high end hardware, and always will be.
