I agree 100% - the whole cheery lack of care around optimization to the point of it becoming 'wisdom' could only have happened in the artifice of the huge gains in computing power year on year.
Still, people applying optimizations that sacrifice maintainability for very little gain or increase bugs are still doing a disservice. People who understand data flow and design systems from the get-go that are optimal are where it's at.
