It's more a technical thing. Many modern concepts can not be adapted to
30-40 year old systems. Concepts, like TLS encryption or 255 voice
synthesized sounds do simply not map to a simple processor.
This possibly can be done with some newly created extra hardware - but
this is not really retro. This is new.
Well, Gemini had been written with a specific idea in mind. So
everybody, who wants to do something with his retro computer, also can
be creative and build new things, hardware, protocols etc.
