Not sure I'd calls more than doubling "marginally faster".

I'd imagine the answer is cost & cooling. 10gbe is substantially more energy intensive than 1gbe.

You’ve gone from maybe a dual core processor and 8gb of ram, 500gb of mechanical storage and 512kbps internet w/ a gigabit mic to a 24core processor, up to 128gb of ram, SSDs, gigabit internet to see only a 2.5x speed increase in ethernet?

Edit: to be clear I don’t expect he same rate of growth due to the lack of use at speeds upwards of 10gbe for the average user, but over a 20 year span, 10gbe should be commodity hardware.
