I agree, that's kind of my point - the COMPANIES are chasing profit and trying to interest us in the latest and greatest. Meanwhile there's an old Windows XP laptop in the closet that'd thrive with a Linux OS for programming,

Right - but I'm talking about 'optimizing' for the millions of devices already extant, not abandoning innovation for cutting edge hardware entirely. Prices keep rising, memory is becoming more expensive and even scarce - just
