As a user of "low-spec" computers, I try to avoid software written by teams of developers working under managers.
Most of the programs I use day-to-day are (a) decades old, from the distant past before so-called "tech" companies existed and/or (b) written primarily by single authors, often as a hobby or as a result of itch-scratching. Some of them are written by me.
When I occasionally compile and run the scripts and small programs I write on more powerful computers, I am amazed at the speed. Everything I write is compiled on "low-spec" computers. Today's hardware is amazing.
