No, that is absolutely not "the problem" as one would have "upped" the figure otherwise.

It is conscious "we do not want to do that". The same reason why old style inefficient bulbs are banned.

There were a few things lost, but for the most part switching to LED was a neutral move to the consumer. They both create light.

A 1080p and 4k screen are not equivalents.

It doesn't matter.

The goal is (at least for now, it might change if "energy will be abundant" vision turns true) that nobody wants to increase power consumption of an average household, on the opposite.

If that renders some shiny tech that arguably barely anyone on this planet needs, oh well.
