Imagine how fast our computers would be if all developers tuned for performance and did their best to conserve resources. We've gone from people trying to squeeze every last bit of performance out of an extremely low resource system to the current state of "just go for it, most people have enough resources for my one app I'm developing".

It blows my mind that companies think that delivering a full-featured browser with a web page to make it into a native application makes any sense whatsoever. In a lot of cases, the same app, written 30 years ago, would fit on a floppy disk.

Now imagine how slow development would be in your hypothetical world. Most of the apps and sites you use wouldn't be build because the cost of development would be so high.

We throw tons of CPU and memory at these problems precisely so we can build fast.

And we build fast so that we can make tons of low quality apps. I think we're over saturated as it is.
