No, I'm questioning whether the value added is greater than the value lost, and in this hypothetical example clearly not. So it's your job to point that out to whoever and not silently obey.
More common is a "death by 1000 cuts" scenario where the various causes of slowness are apparent to the developers, but quite difficult to remove because they've become necessary to the continued success of the business.
