You're absolutely right about 3D graphics, but how much time does the average desktop computer user spend rendering hair?

Even if you need bigtime compute power for video games, there are game streaming services where someone else's computer will do that for you.

I have a high-end graphics card and all the processing power I need to play games... but I am still wasting all of that whenever that isn't what I'm doing, aren't I?

How is this different from owning anything? I have a bike, but I’m not riding it literally all the time. But I still don’t think owning it is a waste.
