Sounds less like a fallacy and more like a strawman argument by certain types of AI proponents. First they claim that efficiency is the only thing that matters in intelligence. Then they fail to demonstrate high enough efficiency in real-life applications and resort to rhetoric to explain it all away.

Who, and where, I've not come across such a claim.
There is, of course, a question of whether a particular AI tool demonstrates value for money in a particular commercial niche. But not being so doesn't mean it isn't 'real' AI or 'real' intelligence. There are plenty of situations you wouldn't be value for money for me to invest in, I don't take this as meaning you aren't intelligent. It's a quite different question.
