I don't disagree with your main point but I think it's worth saying - Pen-and-paper is a computing hardware platform! And it ruled for much longer than 50 years.
And to no small success - they worked out quantum mechanics and a lot of other very difficult problems on this platform.
People still even make games for this platform too.

Well, pen and paper is a memory device; the actual computing was carried out by human brains. But, yes, human brains have been successful for much longer than 50 years, and still enjoy success in many domains…
