Because I have two, one older and one newer and (fortunately) neither suffer like this. All bit it slow, not this bad-
My amateur belief is that it's down to the CPU that can't handle what's being asked of it, others who know more about such things blame it on poorly written software.

That seems like a sensible strategy for those out of contract.

Those still in contract are currently faced with the stark choice of leaving VM whilst they can (due to the get out clause due to the price rise) or hoping that the new box works and is reasonably priced. If they take this risk and it doesn't work out, they will have to see out their remaining contract with a barely useable box or break their contract and deal with any problems that doing so creates.
