>The benchmark was run on a Razer Blade 15 Advanced (i7-8750H, 32 GB RAM, Ubuntu 19.10 (Linux 5.3.0-24, mitigations=off), Chrome 79.0.3945.79 (64-bit))

i.e. one of the fastest consumer machines around. I wonder how much the web would be better if more people targetted a $300 laptop instead of a $3000 one. Or probably a $30 Android instead of a $1000 iPhone.

Hmmm would be interesting to do the benchmarks on different machines and see if you are right.
