Debian doesn't target only desktops and servers, where your assertion
is quite possibly correct. It's equally supported on comparatively
very low-powered systems; consider for example a low-RAM, perhaps also
slow-storage armel system.

Also, Debian doesn't target only this-year's systems. My own desktop
system uses a CPU which wasn't even top of the line when I put the
computer together over a decade ago now, and I like that Debian runs
well on it without requiring me to buy a new computer every few years.
(The one I had before this one reached a similar age before it broke
beyond the point of reasonably fixing it by replacing individual
parts.) Not only does it save money, it also saves on limited physical
resources and results in significantly less e-waste. Yes, _one_
computer may be relatively inconsequential, but in aggregate it does
add up.
