No more new features must be because AI makes it so easy to add new features and be super productive with a smaller team

And yes we had full-on IBM compatible PCs in this form factor even in the 1980s, e.g. Schneider Euro PC.

The most closely matching thing I can think of is the quote (anonymous?), “Angesagte Revolutionen finden nicht statt.” (which means “Preannounced revolutions are not taking place.”).

The other ongoing criticism is "well actually, iTunes was always bad".
No, it wasn't. When it was released it was _way_ better than any other jukebox sofware.
You could actually find stuff easily, manage playlists super quick. It ripped CDs, including getting track titles and managing files, with literally _no clicks required_.
Burning CDs took like two clicks.
While admittedly lock-in, it would sync your iPod with no clicks after dropping it in the iPod dock. And it was super fast. (Other manufacturers didn't have anything close to this convenient).
Other jukebox software didn't do any of this.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
