It's a whole mess of legitimate reasons we're not already doing it (which I know), misapplied to 'so it can never make sense,' with a tone of 'how dare you.'

The obvious example application ages ago would've been a console - y'know, specialty hardware with bespoke software, optimized for maximum oomph at minimum up-front cost. But everything since the PS3-360-Wii generation has been a whole-ass computer judged on its ability to handle multiplatform games. Even your damn phone is expected to run Fortnite. Everything's gotta have an everything.

Maybe people are no longer used to considering how computing could get weird.

Maybe they don't recognize how weird it already got.
