I think many programmers and business models have given up on programs running ‘fast’ but rather they just running and shoving them out quickly. Add in all the AI programming, and I don’t see it getting better. It’s basically like most people when they earn more income. The more speed and memory a computer has, the more programmers will use of it.
A computer from the 80’s starts up a million times faster than any modern computer.

That’s nonsense. Every computer I own boots in under a minute. That was unheard of in the 90s, much less the 80s.
Anecdotes ≠ proof
Here is a 486 taking over three minutes to boot.
