I think this ties back to the idea of "get it working, then once it's working go back and make it fast | preformant | better for whatever meaning of better".
I think much of the consternation towards "worse is better" comes from re-inventing things to achieve the "make it better" improvements from scratch instead of leveraging existing knowledge. Re-inventing might be fine, but we shouldn't throw away knowledge and establshed techniques if we can avoid it.
