Have you ever been forced to leave your home? People tend to not want to just give it up. These people have memories of this place and your grand solution is they should move.
You also talk like anyone can just uproot their lives like it's such an easy thing to do.

Spoken like someone that has an option to move.

I ran into a scenario years ago when Starcraft 2 came out. I bought it, and it completely crushed my computer beneath it's boot.
Convincing my parents I all of a sudden needed a new computer was a stressful one.
Nowadays you just expect a game to run on your PC unless you have an older PC and the game is a true ship of the line nuts to butts eye watering game.

Eh. Computer speeds have definitely improved in other ways. SSDs can make an otherwise slow computer fast.
It's like in video games. Games today in terms of textures don't really look much better than games from 5 or 6 years ago.
But lighting has improved immensely.
People will find ways to continue to improve, physical limits be damned.

Reply to comment by patman_007 in Estimates suggest population growth rate to peak at 8.6 billion by madrid987
The confusion is that the headline and opening sentence of the article itself are different.
The headline says what you're saying, the highest rate of population growth will be at 8.6 billion people, then that rate will taper off, but their will still be growth.
The first sentence in the article says that at current growth rates, the highest POPULATION, not growth rate, will be at 8.6 billion people, where the population will then begin to decline.
Simplified:
Headline -> Population will grow past 8.6 billion. Article -> Population will not grow past 8.6 billion.
