Performance is important in another way (I'm referencing the C++ vs go performance discussions here, more than the OP). The more performant you are, the fewer watts you burn. This means phone batteries last longer, and google data centers require fewer power substations. It's a nontrivial concern at any scale. I find blithe 'throw more cores at it' statements rather questionable ecologically.
