Computers were slower but i wouldn't call them frustrating. Windows start menu in 2000 was an 100% intuitive hierarchical menu. Today it takes me 10 minutes to remove the utterly useless spammy crap that MS ships by default.
It used to be that software would get slower due to more and more baggage (or "technologies") it accumulates, but hardware would get faster at a higher rate. The past 10 years software keeps piling up more and more libraries but CPU performance is essentially stuck and even more, we have the shift to mobile, which means underpowered computers. This inevitably leads to bloated , slow systems , or "UX".
