I mean; looks like someone volunteered to make the product work on low spec machines. That's needed.

I've been on teams where corporate hardware is all max spec, 4-5 years ahead of common user hardware, provided phones are all flagships replaced every two years. The product works great for corporate users, but not for users with earthly budgets. And they wonder how competitors swallow market in low income countries.

The developer integration tests don’t need to run on a low spec machine. That is not needed.
