And even if you could, you're getting more value by getting that thing sooner. Or an even better argument: in the end, maybe it took just enough resources at the quality you got to even be born in the current market.

Yeah most things are frivolous... you can survive without a better camera in your phone for another year. But that ham-fisted implicit cultural aspect is what also brings people medical devices 5-10 years sooner than it could have. We all know these gains compound over time. So maybe it's ok if our programs are a little slow. We buy the truly mission critical technology faster with that frivolity.

But I'll also say, I still get mad at my phone and throw it pretty often. Just the way it is.

It's not an either or. Cutting edge technology has always been a bit slow and rough around the edges. That's not an excuse for your chatroom client to use 450MB of RAM.
