80's PCs could populate a "screen" in that timeframe. Why do we accept less performance from modern computers?

This argument (accidentally) completely aligns with mine - this manifesto makes no distinction between complex and simple applications.

There were plenty of applications in the 80s that could not render a full screen in that timeframe. That did not stop those applications from being useful.

(And I honestly think a DOS directory listing can take longer than 64ms to fill the screen)
