> Building Chromium takes more RAM and HD space than most people even have.

According to [1], it takes 16GB of RAM and ~180GB of disk space. Most people have that much. It does take several hours without a many-core machine though.

Building Linux takes much less.

I would bet overall most people have those 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC laptops from walmart, etc. If you limit things to developers/gamers/enthusiasts, you'd probably be right.

Those laptops kind of died up to a point, whoever can use an smartphone or tablet used those instead.
