"Should be doing" and "is practical or feasible to do" are too different things. Not all of us are satisfied with browsing the web by emailing a wget daemon and reading it on a computer designed for a Chinese government contract with a 500 MHz MIPS processor.

The rest of us value other things (convenience, comfort, performance) and thus make different choices about the tech we use.
