Well, the downside of that is that it’s insular, you lose the opportunity of meeting new people

And sure, not everyone cares about doing that a lot of the time, but for me personally that’s a great loss at least. I love meeting new people, and everyone being priced out of existing in social meeting places… sucks. A lot

The more performant the chips, the more you can downclock them (or the faster they finish their tasks), the less battery they use

It should in theory be good for battery life

Recently I was in a car trip in Europe using an electric vehicle, and every time we had to stop for charging (which was like 4 times total for what would have been 1000km or so in total) the car basically ended up having to wait for us as we were still eating while the car was mostly done charging

Charging times are literally a non-issue. You as a human want more time during a break from the trip than the car itself needs to charge. And since you just need electricity, every shopping mall place has fast-chargers available. You don’t need to go to any bespoke place like a gas station, you just charge at a place you already wanna be at anyway
