angel eyes@wim_v12e most software isn’t like this because the devs value human effort over computational power, it’s not some capitalist opulence it’s just a resource tradeoff

You're correct that it's a resource tradeoff, but it's one made without full consideration of all factors. If the cost of externalities had an equivalent monetary cost attached the tradeoffs devs make would be very different.
