Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I also don’t like oversized motor vehicles but I think the parable is sound;

If the effort of switching out when you need the last 1% is higher than whatever premium you will pay (compilation time/fuel cost) - especially as a small ongoing cost, people will likely choose it.

I’m not saying this as if its wisdom into the future, only in that we can observe it today with at least a handful of examples.
