It isn't just management. Most software ecosystems (Rust, C, c++ excluded) discourage any thinking about or tinkering with performance knowledge. You see evidence of this on stackoverflow questions, questions on reddit and twitter. Young people or new programmers curious about the fastest way to do things are always lectured about how this is not good to do. It is quite unfortunate because building some experience for how to do things fast is very useful. It isn't always correct to optimize the hell out of things, of course, but we should encourage the curiosity behind it, so that more of us have the tools to do it when it is correct to do so.
