Business efficiency is not generally a controversial goal -- although what counts as 'waste' is.
The only time people seem to argue against efficiency (generally via false dichotomy, see 'hardware is cheap, programmers are expensive') is in a blank-check environment where nobody is holding these decision-makers to account for self-serving inefficiencies.
