“What is it about an operating system that requires more and more processing power?”

It has been standard operating procedure for MS since the beginning. “Faster processor and BUS and more RAM? Cool! We can stick a whole bunch more unneeded bloat in there and slow it right back down again!”. They have some idea all those extra resources were designed just for them, not the user or anyone else.

And we keep letting them get away with it.

Actually I think W/10 can be as fast as W/7, and a learned user finds out how to turn bloat off - which good freeware can do - including Cortana. The main slowdown is the Internet, in which many sites do as you described. A site such as Gateway Pundit can make 200 network requests the first 30 secs or so (under Firefox, go to a web site, hit F12 and then Network and then hit F5 and look for Requests). Freerepublic.com makes 3.
