Mobile devices' compute power is there to serve a massive amount of input/output components and sensors. If we start to usurp this computing margin for our applications, the devices will overheat and break, irritating quite some people probably.

You mean glitter and ads? Because sensors and I/O doesn't require much power; nowhere near as much as is available.

I mean all of it. There isn't a single cycle on my device that's finding truth or beauty. Is there on yours? If so please let me know so I can get that app!

> Conveniently all of your users have 90s era supercomputers in their pants. Shame we're wasting that compute on nonsense.

Supercomputers were designed and built to be used to capacity (otherwise they would be a waste of money). Modern mobile phones and laptops are not.
