The real estate market is still largely price fixed and quite inefficient.
Kidding aside, robcohen makes a great point about the infinite backwards compatibility … if MSFT were to sunset more product versions more quickly it could accelerate upgrade cycles. But then again “new code considered harmful” applies.
What could help is a much more modular OS that installs a very slim base set of functionality and lets users choose additional capabilities to install or not. This would (perhaps) cut vuln and misconfig surface area if it were implemented in a real way.
It reminds me somewhat of the insanely priced AxiosHQ tool from Axios which is something like $50,000 year. The Axios tool is less about tone and more about copiloting writers to the Smart Brevity format of writing (https://www.axios.com/smart-brevity) Axios made famous. Axios is very non-transparent about their pricing. Bravo to Textok for being open and transparent.
A while back I had to create a high speed steaming data processor (not a spark cluster and similar creatures), but a c program that could sit in-line in a high speed data stream and match specific patterns and take actions based on the type of pattern that hit. As part of optimizing for speed and throughput a colleague and I did an obnoxious level of experimentation with read sizes (slurps of data) to minimize io wait queues and memory pressure. Being aligned with the cache-line size, either 1x or 2x was the winner. Good low level close to the hardware c fun for sure.

The entire experience using Go + Fiber (gofiber.io) + templates + HTMX (htmx.org) is fantastic. This approach has allowed us to create a beautiful modern application that's highly performant, interactive in all the places you'd expect, and simple code, deps, devops, etc.
