Yeah good luck with that attitude over time. Most people don’t hang around in an org long enough to see that assumption scale to renting hardware than costs $900k a node a year.

Seeing what you made get to the point that that's an issue is a "a good problem". Yes, it's worth it to optimize at that point, but that's still an argument for what I consider premature optimization.
Most orgs never get to that scale
The difference can also be from having builds over night to being able to build, test and deploy in a few minutes with just a few optimisations.
And as you approach that point you should have fleet wide profiling (sample based) so it’s clear what’s worth improving.
