You do false statements here.
"Not better" doesn't equal with "worse". It is just not better.
The programmers become either lazy (aka. the same graphic / data a few years back required substantially less resourses), or simply say "f* you", and makes a vital component's update incompatible with the program-sorroundings.
For exapmle flashplayer 1.10 is although knows nothing extraordinary (it is basically the same as 1.09), but it is burned in its forehead "do not be compatible anything less then WinXP". Similar was the case when simple text-editors (Word for Windows) became incompatible with Win3.11 or less, just and because, although used the same contents (aka. letters, numbers), same fonts, same formats (well at least true to the used options at least, like pressing enter, or distance from edge of paper etc.).
