On one project I was on, we used a 16-bit MCU for a power controller. Cost less than twenty cents, and we got a lot of functionality out of it (you can cram a bunch of complex logic into 2K of code).
Near the end of that project, the hardware engineers came to us and apologized; they had managed to source a part for the same price with twice the code space. Could have used that, would have saved quite a bit of space optimization effort.
