It is true but then there are also counter examples:
- iOS moving to incremental over the air updates
- OS X getting a little slower but certainly less than the speedup provided through SSDs
- Angular2 and React being faster than Angular 1
- Move from VMs to containers
I feel on the OS and application side developers are aware of constraints and acting responsibly. Can't say the same of what can be seen on the internet. HN being the exception of course.
