Your post seems entirely anachronistic.

2007 is the year we did get video streaming services: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_iPlayer

Steam was selling games, even third party ones, for years by 2007.

I'm not sure what a "VS-Code style IDE" is, but I absolutely did appreciate Visual Studio ( and VB6! ) prior to 2007.

2007 was in fact the peak of TomTom's profit, although GPS navigation isn't really the same as general purpose mapping application.

Grocery delivery was well established, Tesco were doing that in 1996. And the idea of takeaways not doing delivery is laughable, every establishment had their own delivery people.

Yes, there are some things on that list that didn't exist, but the top half of your list is dominated by things that were well established by 2007.

Sublime Text was out by 2008. Its spiritual predecessor, TextMate, was out a few years before that.

And of course, Vim and Emacs were out long before that.
