I don't have the memory for a Youtube video, I'll encapsulate; because browsers used to display the text for which you were looking. Hell use a CLI today, it's faster than anything else. Now I visit a website and in addition to preloading videos, asking for my permission to slip its hand in my pocket to feel my family jewels and mining for bitcoin with my spare processor power, it needs me to load a million dependencies I'll never use...just in case one appeals to me.

We could make a start by utilizing hardware and mutlithread applications like games for one

I used video games for an example, Minecraft which is one of the most bought is still a single core application even after its acquisition by Microsoft, which is a multi billion dollar company. We don't need to go back to assembly, devs arent optimizing their code as much because modern machines will be able to run whatever you throw at it, you can even see the laziness when day one patches and rushed games are put out.

Games are usually single threaded because most are not CPU-limited, they are not doing enough simultaneous computations on the CPU to warrant multiple threads. They are far more frequently GPU limited, and all graphics APIs automatically optimise GPU computations for parallelism, developers don't have to do anything to get this.
