You are also forgetting the ridiculous amount of software bloat literally introduced at the OS level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCNmhpcjJCQ Look at how fast windows 7 works compared to windows 11. Think of how much telemetry, bloatware windows 10 and 11 ship with. A new methodology that teases a different direction from silicon chips is definitely a must step but software vendors need to come together as well and highlight the bloat problem. Perhaps for the next windows release, in addition to Home, Professional and Pro, how about Windows Maximal, a highly streamlined version of windows with only the absolute minimal set of things installed to get your system running at 2x speeds compared to Windows Home. Charge it double maybe?
