All your other points I agree with, however the higher-level counterargument is that all these things have been just around the corner, and the tyranny of the von-Neumann architecture has been on its last legs for about 50 years now, yet it is somehow still with us despite many opportunities for both hardware and tooling-based alternatives. Anyway, here's hoping!
