I might have misstated. I mean that consumers shouldn't have to compensate for poorly written (in terms of efficiency and speed) software. Sure buying an SSD would increase the write speed, which is usually the bottleneck for a system, but the consumer can save a couple hundred bucks if the developing company focused on speed instead of bloat.

And I agreed about the "faking" issue. Just like how Windows will silently keep loading tons of services in the background after a reboot, but shows you a desktop and makes you think you are free to click and launch stuff.
