It's certainly possible, and has been done recently - compare Windows 7 with Windows 8 or 10. The latter two just fly compared to the sluggish Win7 on the same hardware. But still most commentards are unimpressed and find the reasons to complain.
So Google is probably right - it lets them cry about how bloated the new version is, so no one looks any further for the reasons to complain.
