Fewer performance gains means longer upgrade cycles, longer support windows and less pressure on consumers to keep soending money on upgrades (although the eventual upgrade is now way more expensive).

You have more faith in billion dollar companies than I do, if you think its gonna lead to more support and less pressure to keep spending.

I have no doubt that the companies will keep high margins and incentivize people to keep spending, but the customers have a choice when to upgrade their hardware and I believe based on these developments that they will choose to upgrade less frequently than they used to.
