The specs for laptops dont appear to have changed in the past six or more years. Still 4\8 Gb Ram & 100-200gb storage. Is storage stagnating because people stream everything now? Are laptops not representative? Is it bitcoin?

Honestly, I think that's a lot of it. Look at the kind of shit we call cross platform now. Electron apps are running javascript in a chrome process as an appliance for god's sake, it's madness. I don't think devs that know better really like any of that, but it's a way to shove out an app that does stuff I think.
1 Password recently announced they’re replacing their native macOS app with an Electron app, it’s very sad to see. JavaScript is an abomination, a hack, a joke of a language. Yet it is essentially cementing its place as the universal technology.
I spent a year writing Elixir and Phoenix/LiveView professionally - it was the only time in my career I actually enjoyed front end development, as I finally wasn’t writing fucking JS. Sadly that experience probably won’t repeat itself!
