This is actually a well-known phenomenon in ML, called "The Bitter Lesson".

> One thing that should be learned from the bitter lesson is the great power of general purpose methods, of methods that continue to scale with increased computation even as the available computation becomes very great. The two methods that seem to scale arbitrarily in this way are search and learning.

Not quite. The Wikipedia page is worth a look through if you don’t want to click on an http page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_lesson

If you'd like to dig more into the history, let's encrypt did so much to enable the movement to https by making certs free, and chrome with the red text and warnings in the url bar, which has since graduated to a full on page that requires clicking to still go despite the warnings
