You can run a computer program on any computer

Incorrect. Certain programs require certain standards for how the hardware is designed. There are already lots of old programs which can't be run natively on modern machines, and using software to emulate a compatible environment can impact performance in more ways than just speed.

You're wildly wrong about the fundamentals of computer science here. I'd be starting from first principles trying to explain further. I recommend reading up on Turing machines, or perhaps getting ChatGPT to explain it to you.

I actually happen to know a lot about computers, and can even build them from raw materials. They are not eternal existences no matter how they're treated in popular culture, and data retention as hardware/standards evolve is actually a serious concern that is getting a fair bit of attention in research. One of the more interesting avenues being explored is encoding data in DNA, because humans will always have a reason to want to be capable of reading DNA, but that's still just theory at this point.
