That's a clear case of PEBTSAC [1] as it is not the device which decides whether those mentioned time wasters are able to do their master's bidding but the person using the device. Sellers of 'premium' devices which are specced-down so as not to be able to run those things are guilty of the same crime as sellers of 'light' products which replace nutritious ingredients with water or air while selling at a 'premium' price. Just eat less of the good stuff instead of being suckered into paying more for less. The same goes for these 'premium“ devices which only do one thing and often do that thing badly.

The analogy, in this case, would be replacing NON-nutritious ingredients with water or air.
