Sometimes software bloat is what it is. Poorly written and unoptimized. Other times, that performance loss was actually an intentional trade-off for accessibility, security, reliability, or other tangible benefits. I'm sure not everyone will agree, but in most cases I will personally prioritize those ahead of performance. A lot of the older simpler software we think of as being high performance was, or still is, severely lacking in those aspects.
