That you can't estimate how current processors will match your expectations based on how 42 years ago processor matched expectations of people living at the time.

If 42 years ago Intel sold a processor that burned my house down, I might not be the biggest fan of Intel even 42 years later. This isn't about expectations, it's about reputation. Not everyone has a goldfish memory.
MacBooks and Samsung phones had fire problems just a few years ago. So you seem to be wrong.
