Did your 95 computer use ML for photo post processing, or have 120hz display, or have 200 processes running at a time?

Why are you pretending 1995 is like today?

I'm not. But my iPhone can't run an app as sophisticated as 3DSMax and it doesn't multitask to the same level as that 1995 machine.

Your iPhone can run apps far more sophisticated than anything 3dsmax could do 27 years ago.

It can in theory, I practice not really.

So why doesn't it?

3DSMax from 1995 could probably run emulated in iOS Safari.

I don't want those things, so who cares?

The number of people who want those things is orders of magnitude greater than the number who care about how many gb of ram they have.

I guess you could always pick the librem phone and miss out on every modern advancement.
