i think compute and networking speeds are honestly enough that most people struggle to take advantage of more of those things (streaming video is about the most data-intensive thing a lot of people do, and what’s above that is mostly actual computational tasks), so it would take (significant) additional innovations in figuring out how to convert these things into better experiences in order for this to be tenable.
it seems a lot of the time that the line is usually drawn somewhere around gaming enthusiasts (e.g there is a cohort of people who will buy a more powerful smartphone so it can render graphics better so they can game on their phones more enjoyably, same for the display). this could be because economic incentives towards innovations in compute still favor commoditizable things, since compute is more generally useful (for the amount of work you could employ to make phones better for a small contingent of people who would buy them, you could just make some similarly advanced/complex system better for some industrial/trad-tech purpose and make way more money)
