Its not just that current crop of systems are laggy, but there aren't even clear paths towards recovery. Maybe xilem will get released and mature at some point for devs to be able to rally around it and build new desktop experiences with great perf again, but the timeline for that feels more like in 2030s with great deal of uncertainty. But in general I don't see any groups or projects taking serious, principled, look into making desktop performance great.
