I don't know about OpenWatcom but I used the original Watcom on my old 286 just fine. Even the Windows 3.1 IDE ran fine on it IIRC.

Even C is like that in its most popular stdlib implementation (glibc).

Full Intel or full AMD laptops are usually fine in my experience. It's when you have both an integrated and a discrete GPU, especially Nvidia, that things start to fall apart.

This is not correct. WP6 ran just fine even on a 286 and was still a text mode application.

It may not be for you, but none of what you said has stopped more than 80 million people from buying a PS5. It's obvious there's a large market for it.
