People care about features. They don't care if a page takes 2 seconds to load or has a thousand npm packages holding it up. They care that they can click a button and it does the thing that they need to do to accomplish their task. This stuff is all magic and pixie dust to 99.9% of people. And if adding the new feature creates bloat and slowness, so be it. If this tiny little seemingly insignificant thing that user wants is not there, it doesn't matter to them if you have to completely break your "architectural purity" and hack something gross that messes with your Lighthouse score to put it there. It just needs to be there.

Oracle eventually had to buy MySQL to stop the bleeding (and try to upsell). So no. While people do prefer a 100% solution over a 90% solution, they much more strongly prefer a 90% solution now over a 100% solution that keeps them at work an extra hour or two nearly every day.
