@sjmulder The web is already a perfect example of this. The mentality has seen "if the web page is slow, maybe you should upgrade your old piece of junk computer". Then when I put a badly performing web page through the inspector, well oh look at that, the person who made it decided to include several frameworks, probably because those were the answer for "how do I do X in HTML5?"
I have a lot of "junk" computers in use, yet they run just fine with my Linux setup despite others' protests.
