I think it has to be a different HW. Iroamed a lot about it, and have your same conclusion.
To your parent comment, yes. Is about SW. And the problem I see, ist that today we have super conputers with studio level audio, and cinema quality video. But programing anything other than a “hello world” or basic text application, is so difficult and complex, that no average kid will endeavor such a trip. Frameworks, Libraries… full of rabbit-holes that I do not dare to enter being a professional programmer.
We need some simple language that allows to bild interesting things relatively easy… like endbasic in other comments.
