> Why would more features equal less performance?
"More features" can include things that were not feasible in the '90s. Things that inherently consume more resources.
Icons/images are a simple example.
Of course good software can get plenty done with 16x16 images.
Good software may get all that done and more with access to more memory for higher resolution images and more CPU cycles for image manipulation.
