It does have a cost. But maybe the cost isn’t worth it sometimes. I’ll take the 4K screen please. I’m willing to pay for those pixels.

But animations for no reason other than to make it seem like waiting for something is less of a chore? Nope.

Unicode is something I’m willing to pay for.

But we should be able to draw the glyphs on the screen in single-digit ms like we did in 1981. Yes more pixels and more glyphs but it’s possible just not a priority.
