Pareto principle means you should prioritize the 80%+ use case. Most of the time is what you want to spend all your time/money optimizing while making also the other use cases possible.

I think this is a terrible way to apply the Pareto principle.

80% of the time a hammer is a better tool than a screwdriver does not mean you should not use screwdrivers and just get better with a hammer.

Different tools for the job is more effective than one universal tool for everything
