Was there a job offer / spot bonus?

Yep. I got a job offer. It was nowhere near competitive with other opportunities, though, so the talks didn't go far.
This checks out. Banks have no problem spending millions on poor solutions but zero interest in rewarding optimisations.
That's because you are a threat to the manager if you implement something like this without approval.
