What you're missing (though you like to focus on it) is the end user
experience.  As an end user, I don't have 15 GHz available.  I want to
listen to my stuff realtime.  So I lower the quality on these monster
plugins.  Then I render.  Oops!  I forgot to turn up the quality on ALL my
plugins again.  More than 1 or 2 of those plugins, and it's VERY
frustrating.

Standardizing it allows the host to know which plugins conform, and lets it
handle that automagically.

You really think that plugins won;t get hungrier and hungrier?  Are you
telling me that your plugins today don't take advantage of the fact that
most computers are faster than they were 2 years ago?  Come on.  It will
ALWAYS be a problem, for the forseeable future.

Notice that as computers are becoming easier and easier to use,
suddenly there's a big market for "Dummies" books.  Cause and effect,
or merely an ironic juxtaposition of unrelated facts?
