I am really fascinated by the fact that a computer with 1000x faster processor and 100x more memory than 20 years ago can still feel slower, because of ads, bloatware, lazy programming -- it seems to capture the strengths and weaknesses of humanity in a nutshell

Yes, you could theoretically write all that in assembly. But it’s completely economically unfeasible. I mean, Twitter Lite was written with react-native-web. You try telling

I think it's mostly a matter of another kind of economics, basically what "we" pay for. If we keep promoting half-baked whipped-together-in-an-afternoon with "its ok for a chat client to use 1G ram per group I am on", then we end up where we are now, even if it could be less.
