Average machines in 2006 were mostly desktops with hard drives of 80/120/160GB. Average machines in 2019 are mostly laptops with 500GB/1TB of storage in many cases much much faster ssds. This is less than one order of magnitude in the last 13 years. I personally would like to use that extra space for useful tools and multimedia not bloated chat apps.

uTorrent is perhaps another bad choice.

uTorrents first public beta release was in late 05 Qbittorrent was released in early 06.

By the time about anyone was aware of uTorrent Qbittorrent was already a thing and as good. uTorrent went on to become first proprietary and ultimately ended up installing malware on users system and mining coin whereas Qbittorrent is still awesome.

Slack with its famously crappy performance and battery destruction is probably another bad choice to make the case although I hear its improved lately. Maybe wait another year to use it as an example so people have time to forget how much it sucked.

I would totally stay with comparing say visual studio code to visual studio and hope your audience doesn't remember Emacs and Jetbrains products are also cross platform without electron.
