I think what irks people is the number one rule of optimization is to always measure

You never assume something is an optimization or needed and never do hypothetical optimizations

I can see why it would happen in this case though, gamedev is chaotic and you're often really pressed for time

WebDevs who have build systems that take ten minutes and download tens of megabytes of JS and have hundreds of milliseconds of lag are sooooooooooooo not allowed to complain about game devs ever.

Wow! It looks like I do indeed know better.
