Or, they were holding out hope for a workaround that didn't make the entire Cloud 20% slower and they couldn't make it work.

Code for the solution and then code for performance. Direct performance coding is a bad return on investment.

First prove it works and then prove it can be made better and faster ...

That’s easy for you to say. You’re not the person having to admit to a billion dollar mistake.

Everybody stalls for time when the stakes are this high. How long can I reasonably spend tying to turn this into a small problem before I have to go public with it?

Saying it’s a bigger problem than it turns out to be is a PR nightmare of its own. If there was a cheap fix then you cried wolf and killed your reputation just as dead.
