This applies to the whole stack, even ignoring the GUI, you would not find systems with a gazillion of processes, doing OS IPC all over the place, because the hardware could not accommodate it.

Aren't those two things contradicting each other? ;)
I think macOS getting more sluggish in each release (which is objectively true) is just plain old bad software engineering and prioritising the wrong things. E.g. it's just Apple's version of "What Andy giveth, Bill taketh away.".
It's maybe a combination of incentives. Give the devs the latest shiniest model, give them a list of barely manageable feature requests , and nobody will spend the time to consider performance issues that you'd get on hardware from 10 years ago if you take approach X, Y, Z if you don't notice a difference on your formula 1 setup.
