Laptops shouldn't be using boost anyways, because their form factors and CPU coolers just can't handle the heat output.
On the other hand, if it's plugged in much of the time, then let it boost as much as it can, with speed only thermally limited. Otherwise you're not getting the true performance you paid for.
Linux does grant the user that flexibility, so if someone actually wants that, they can have it.
The max non-boost frequency is usually the sweet spot for performance and efficiency.

If the user wants to live with a potentially reduced laptop lifespan, sure thing. But it's just not worth it for a laptop, frankly, given their limited thermal cooling capacities. That CPU will degrade over time when run at that level of heat.

- we are more finely tuned
- and we have a wider variety of inputs that we can respond to and outputs by which we can respond
This is a non-response.
Unlike an algorithm, humans have the faculties of creativity, intelligence and sentience. Furthermore, we have the crucial traits of self-awareness and being able to have experiences. We humans do many, many things that cannot be reduced down to algorithmic or computable steps.
Intellectual property concepts in their current form started to appear as soon as prints, so about the 15th century.

Copyright is not the same as intellectual property.
Copyright is not an intellectual property concept.
They're very different things, though often conflated.
Probably because in today's age, making jokes about men is a-okay, but making jokes against women might be perceived as misogynist. Potential misandry is okay, by comparison.
They would probably have a monopoly, and with that, too much control, and so, are liable to become lazy and greedy, which will harm everyone involved.
Intel is set up pretty well to pull it off when this happens. Samsung might be in a good position too.
Isn't this why TSMC is creating another foundry in the US, so they can circumvent these issues with China somewhat?
These days I prefer KDE, and I accept quirky behavior like losing a widget panel from external monitor 1 if you unplug external monitor 2, because I know it will come back after reboot/relogin. In exchange for that, I get different wallpapers for each monitor, custom/extra panels, several alternatives for application menus and taskbars, lots of widgets, and a few small QOL perks I can't remember right now.
If KDE becomes too quirky, I can always go back to Gnome, but right now I'm happy with KDE.
Gnome these days is the my-way-or-the-highway kind of uncle.
They're actively hostile to user theming, for example, and keep removing features simply because they don't think users need them, like desktop icons.
Their file browser is horrible to use. Their image viewer is anaemic.
They keep finding new ways to dumb their applications down, to make things less "confusing" for the users, I suppose.
They adopted MacOS-style headerbars, but ignored Apple's solution to the lack of functionality that brings ~ their Menu Bar.
I don't share many values with movie critics. Here's an spicy example that will mark me as a philistine forever.
I think Princess Mononoke was an awful film with a navel gazing director who gets treated far too kindly because of a childish desire for "whimsy". Everytime I see a Ghibli pusher here, I laugh.
No movie critic will engage with such a perspective (because it is "wrong", the movie is "powerful", the art is "beautiful" and the characters are "strong" — every one of which is literally a matter of interpretation). Depending on critics is depending on people who have to satisfy their local equivalent of the Reddit front page. Why would you trust them except to know the current rightthink?
It's not the same as a scientist describing climate change or an engineer explaining the loads on a bridge.
It's easily one of my favourite films for these reasons.
