True, though I think there's a distinction between "need" and "can make use of". If I'm going to spend 8+ hours a day working on a computer, I'd probably be willing to spend a extra 20% or whatever on total system cost to eek out a bit extra performance even if that cost doesn't make sense from a strict cost/benefit calculation.
That said, there isn't really a good way for developers to calibrate the hardware to their workload.
