> Sometimes, hardware is cheaper than human coordination. A t3.small on AWS costs $182.21 a year before any discounts and has 2 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM. So the computer to run the example at the start costs 3 hours of Engineering time. This has... Warping effects on how hardware performance is perceived to put it mildly. If you spend 4 hours halving that cost it takes multiple years to reclaim that investment. Not that performance doesn't matter of course, reducing your total spend by a percentage is worthwhile, but micro optimizations become difficult when hardware is cheap and performant.
