This is also the reason a computer with 4GB of RAM can't run Gmail and Spotify at the same time.

Google and Spotify are supposed to get among the best / most productive developers though

According to what evidence? I have worked with developers who later ended up working for Google and they were OK but not great. They didn’t stand out in any way.

That’s demands for faster delivery of software and ridiculous demands on user experience.

Absolutely not. It's about bloat. Many times people "just want to code" or eschew optimizing repeating the mantra that "premature optimization is the root of all evil" that you often end up with bloated software.
