But even if you redo the whole thing and it is efficient, it is still less than some minor performance improvement in Chrome can achieve for the world.

Spare parts, for one. BART for example is dependent on old computer parts from Ebay to keep the Bay Area's main mass transit system running: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32884814

Speaking as a customer, it's slow, annoying, and makes the shopping experience there miserable. If you innovate in that software space, you might be able to make a significant impact on the trade of certified exotic wood and maybe even save a few species of tree.
