>Why do I need a math coprocessor built into my CPU?
Did you know you can do division using only addition and subtraction? It's true. The catch is that it takes a LOT of addition and subtraction to do.

So your CPU doesn't have a division circuit in it, but someone's code has to divide a number. That's one line of code, but it gets translated into 600 individual operations for the CPU to do. Very inefficient. Makes things slow and shitty. Give the CPU a division circuit and that same code now only takes 1 operation to complete.

>Why do I need a math coprocessor?
speed - floating-point math is complicated and requires complex circuitry implemented in a dedicated location on cpu. it's less necessary today but the hardware is still supported
>Why does my CPU need multiple cores, in addition to whatever "hyperthreading" is?
speed to run multiple things at once; HT is built-in context switch to pretend as if the core is actually 2 cores (threads) and doesn't exceed 2 due to diminished returns
>What the fuck even are "advanced vector extensions 2"
speed - avx2 is simd extension which adds instructions to run multiple operations at once by packing multiple operands into a "vector". useless for email but excellent e.g. for rpcs3

From what I can tell, the jump in RAM consumption comes from 5 places:

>JIT comp and managed runtimes
Instead of ahead-of-time compilation and manual memory management, most applications nowadays are JIT-ed and garbage collected. Both of these use significantly more resources. Auto memory management especially will allocate a bunch of RAM "just in case", leading to 25-50 MB "Hello World" programs.
https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/problem/helloworld

>Libraryslop / frameworkslop
Instead of actually writing minimalist implementations, modern bootcamp devs just stitch together a bunch of libraries and frameworks. These usually spin up a ton of unnecessary data structures, which take up memory.

>Jevons Paradox
The "RAM is cheap" ideology leads to programmers not caring about optimizing memory. So instead of GBs of RAM letting you run thousands of applications simultaneously, applications have increased in RAM consumption to fill the gap (either through laziness or feature bloat). And while one program alone using 100 or so MB of RAM, it becomes the tragedy of the commons when you realize that apps have to coexist in the ecosystem of an OS.

>Advertising niggers
Like they ruined email, they have ruined the web in general. Every site has a bunch of scripts serving you video ads and tracking you.

I hope that answers all your questions.

>Do I really need 8-16 GIGAbytes of RAM to check the news and listen to music? Weren't game consoles rocking 512MB less than two decades ago?
It depends. But mostly. Web standards are complicated, and websites are scraped so heavily that even somethings as basic as a news site would expect your web browser to complete a proof-of-work (PoW) task in order for you to have access. Basically, many websites now would expect your computer perform some tasking operations just to prove that it can. As the standards of the web expand, and the expectations which websites have of your system increases, just running a web browser becomes a more and more complex undertaking.
Also, media streaming sites generally expect compatability with some DRM wizzardy bullshit, which is also made overly complex for the sake of it.

The answer is you don't need any of that.
We could be doing about the same shit we're doing now with exactly what you're describing: 1 core, 512 mb, no GPU.
The only exception is handling compression (audio, images, video) and encyption (security). But for 90% of what you do you would be fine.
The reason those things exist is because the companies that make them want more money so the employees are not allowed to just keep a stable product and are forced to come up with new crap to trick you into buying. Though for the past 10 years the meta has been to get you to subscribe or rent VMs. And going forward it will be to get you to let them live your life for you for the low low prices of 20-100$/month.

>Why do I need a math coprocessor built into my CPU?
Everything is math. Even the security system that confirms your identity uses math.
>Why does my CPU need multiple cores
Adding cores is cheaper than making a faster CPU, so most programs leverage cores.
>What the fuck even are "advanced vector extensions 2"
If you need to do the same math on a list of numbers, you can do it faster by doing multiple numbers at once. Useful for faster searching.
>What's dual-band Wi-Fi?
WiFi is radio. When they made WiFi they used 2.4GHz band. Then they realized 5GHz band was better. Then they make WiFi that supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
>If I'm not watching movies, why would I ever have a use for a display with a widescreen aspect ratio?
You don't.
>I'm not an enterprise organization - what's the point of "secure boot"?
It's for corporations.
>Why didn't anyone tell me there's an entire 586-compatible computer
It's a backdoor for corporations. They want to remote in their machines even if the OS is dead.
>Do I really need 8-16 GIGAbytes of RAM to check the news and listen to music?
You don't. I run 4GB RAM very well. Use zram.
>how come they still allow [USB-C] to be manufactured in variants that only support the 20-year-old USB 2.0 standard?
USB-C is just the shape of a plug. Outlawing this is authoritarian.
>What's the purpose of an integrated GPU ... for business users?
Too many programs want to leverage GPUs.
>Tell me what a "gaussian neural accelerator" is supposed to help me achieve
I have no idea what that is.
>I see that my computer is partially made from recycled materials, that's great! Now, how will that help me when it's considered junk in 5 years from not having a "neural processing unit"?
It won't be junk for emails.
>Why can't I bypass the built-in battery entirely when connected to an AC adapter with enough wattage?
Can't you already do this? If you remove the battery if should run just fine.
