I wouldn't says "push forward the graphic stack" as much as fitting current hardware and architectures that are already there, and being able to apply the insight gathered on X all these years.

Writing code and doing spreadsheet was already possible on the Atari ST but you wouldn't use its software stack today.

Hardware evolves and software should either grab its magic ball and plan for that, or adapt to changes to avoid dragging hardware evolution back.
