Accessibility and ease of use contribute to the advancement of technology. The easier something is to work with the more people will use it.
I used to be obsessed with performance and refused to write in anything other than assembly. When I started working with teams of other people I realize there is efficiency for the computer and there is efficiency for the developer and the company. The latter 2 trump efficiency of the computer pretty much every time.
I'm more than happy to sacrifice some efficiency if it means getting the job done faster, cranking out more features, greater compatibility, more leverage with existing tools / standards, and so on.
If you want to talk about efficiency though. Why don't we get rid of time zones and daylight savings time?

I know when I started digging into things it was mostly inspired by random things like that; they didn't even have to be great, they just had to be there at the moment. First I experimented with stuff others made, then I learned, and if playing around with stuff hadn't been that fun, I might never have gotten to the learning more part.
