Why are the GHz speeds in computers the same after such a long period of time?

Let’s pretend your family is moving across town and you have 5000 boxes of toys. The moving truck can only fit 50 boxes at a time which means your dad will have to make 100 round trips. The fastest your dad can drive on the freeway is 65mph. Sure, he could drive at 100mph to make better time but damn it, he loves you too much to risk jail time. So instead of pushing himself to drive faster on the freeway, endangering himself and others, he decides it’s a better idea to have your mom drive a second moving truck, also packed with 50 boxes of your awesome toys. Now the two of them only have to make 50 round trips each, halving the initial time it would’ve taken, all without the risk of a speeding ticket or going to prison! Now imagine how faster the move would be if your parents also recruited your uncle Bob and aunt Sally to drive a third and a fourth moving truck. They would be able to move all of your toys 4 times faster than if your dad had to move everything by himself! To match this speed by himself, your dad would have to drive at 260mph and the U-haul down the street isn’t renting out Koenigseggs yet.
