Yes, but I choose to interpret that as a good thing. It is good that progress is so swift and steady that we can afford to keep moving the goalposts.

Take cars as a random example: progress there isn't fast enough that we keep moving the goalposts for eg fuel economy. (At least not nearly as much.) A car with great fuel economy 20 years ago is today considered at least still good in terms of fuel economy.

And if you account for the makeup of the fleet on the road overall, a great fuel economy car from 1995 (say, a Prizm), still beats the median vehicle on the road, which is certainly an SUV weighing twice as much and gets worse mileage.
