I miss well-optimized video games. Now because processing power keeps increasing nobody in the industry cares.

How big were those games originally? Or is that their original size?

My Dreamcast GDI for SA2 is a total of around 1.2GB

Original release of Yume Nikki is a whopping 64.04MB

Holy shit, how did it go from less than 100MB to 3.5GB?? High-res images?

I also miss when composers worked with hardware limitations to develop techniques to get around them or evoked much more with well-selected samples and notes

Same, worst example for me being the Pokémon games (it's all barely catchy synth-orchestral shit now)

NO!
I'm pretty sure most modern game developers write little scripts for an old crufty engine, that gets barely enough patches.
Most money is likely spent on highres models and marketing.
Even new low-level stuff is probably written in C++ with boost libs.
Just look at how poor of a performance Pokemon games can get away with https://old.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/bzw5pk/gamefreak_optimization_problems/
