And your laptop probably operates a million times faster than that spacecraft and still can't win that race.

But not just software bloat. Data bloat. I remember in the early days of audio and video editing thinking someone at Microsoft probably made a co-marketing deal with hardware disk vendors that they would give away such recorders for free just so that people would suddenly burn through tons of disk and need more hardware. Dunno if that was true, but it's easy to understand how it could be.
