Well, it only looks like nothing because our power demands have increased as well.

Current Lithium Ion Polymer batteries are a far cry from the ones of a decade ago, despite being very similar tech.

The main issue with most of these alternative battery approaches are either low capacity, or low charge cycles. Finding a chemistry that both packs enough power in a small enough package to run devices for long term, and that don't wear out quickly is difficult.
