This will probably not happen, because of physics.

Both, compute and memory, are getting closer to fundamental physical limits and it is unlikely that the next 60 years will be in any way like last 60 years.

While the argument for compute is relatively simple it is a bit harder to understand for memory. We are not near to any limit for the size of our memory but the limiting factor is how much storage we can bring how close to our computing units.

Now, there is still way to make and low hanging fruit to pick but I think we will eventually see a renaissance of appreciation for effective programs in our lifetimes.

In theory, yes. But I bet that the forces of enshittification will be stronger. All software will be built to show ads, and since there is no limit to greed, the ad storage and surveillance requirements will expand to include every last byte of your appliance's storage and memory. Interaction speed will be barely enough to not impact ad watching performance too severely. Linux will not be an out, since the megacorps will buy legislation to require "approved" devices and OSs to interact with indispensable services.
