It's definitely more nuanced than my previous toot would imply.

Although if I were going to reduce it to a single driving factor (because reductionism is one of my bad habits), I'd attribute it to Moore's law training people in the 90s and 00s that today's computer is always going to be dramatically better than last year's computer. Those days are long past but the industry keeps faking it by ending support and increasingly desperate gimmickry.
