Right behind the cost of your employees is the cost of your infrastructure. If your company is profitable, every dollar of infrastructure costs cut is a dollar more profit. For a company still working on a runway, every dollar cut from your infrastructure is more time you can spend working on a product.
It's also important to note that those efficiencies don't go away on their own. It's more profit/runway until you retire that code.
Opportunity costs exist, but so does spending your money wisely.
