Yeah, but thats in large part due to the fact that people stopped trying to optimize, because why optimize when most people have gigantic firehose connections that can just use their raw bandwidth to overcome issues.
A similar problem exists with other aspects of computing, lack of optimization and just brute forcing it with modern GPU/CPU power
