It is strange to see that sentiment on HN, given the context: this is what commonly happens to mainstream tech.

The desktop PC has been in that boring mode for 15 years or more now. With small, incremental improvements, if you're lucky.

DDR5 instead of DDR4. A 4tb HD instead of a 1tb HD. A faster SSD. A 25% faster processor. etc

personally, i'd like to see big tech get into new areas that actually matter. It only takes a quick look at maslow's hiearchy of needs to get good ideas: take a look at that lowest tier (shelter, food, water, medical), that's where over 60% of consumer spending goes in a developed country, considerably more for the latest generation (now in their 20s). And in poor countries, the lowest tier is like 99% of their spending.
