OT isn't done in hardware because it would be a massive waste of transistors. It would optimize many (possibly even most) software and would just increase cost and power consumption.

And constantly reinventing broken wheels in every program isn’t a massive waste of transistors AND electricity?

I get where you’re coming from but that line of thinking got us into that mess in the first place IMO. At one point we should draw a line. Which we still don’t.
