There's a version of this in SRE where the performance your system delivers becomes the performance people expect. And then they build their systems to depend on that performance, regardless of what your actual SLA is. Paradoxically, delivering better than the performance you're actually capable of sustaining can set things up to break very badly when something fails "within SLA".
