Optimise is never a neutral word.
You always optimise FOR something at the expense of something.
And that can, and frequently should, be lean resource consumption, but it can come at a price.
Which might be one or more of:
Accessibility.
Full internationalisation.
Integration paradigms (thinking about how modern web apps bring UI and data elements in from third parties).
Readability/maintainability.
Displays that can actually represent text correctly at any size without relying on font hinting hacks.
All sorts of subtle points around UX.
Economic/business model stuff (megabytes of cookie BS on every web site, looking at you right now.)
Etc.
