I think number 1 is the decade long continual advancement in mechanical and solid state memory technologies. In 2009 1 GB SD cards were expensive and hard drives were phasing from 40 GB to 80 GB storage space. It was common for computers to ship with 1 GB of ram and 4 GB was extravagant. I don't think consumer solid state drives were available in 2019.
