If it "hasn't gone down" then by your own admission you can't differentiate a response time under roughly 16.6ms. Possibly higher than that, since latency has only increased since then. Yet the most common displays only have a 60Hz refresh rate, so exactly what do you want here?
As for your assertion that the text quality hasn't improved, I really don't even know where to go here. Proportional fonts are now a thing. Fonts that involve more than an 8x8 glyph hard-coded into an EEPROM for the basic ASCII subset is now a thing.

In the past 20+ years, the whole concept of user interface design has gone completely out the window, replaced by a facile one-size-fits-all dogma that helps nobody. But I can't agree that there have been "no improvements" to text rendering since the 6502 days.

But, yes, your modern microcontroller incorporates a whole bunch of peripheral and power management that the 6502 couldn't imagine, and the x86 instruction set has gained so many layers that... Well... There's a reason that Apple is starting fresh...

I meant that as "quality of the prose". Sure the letters look better, but the words... Well...
