Since when is doing something efficiently and non-wastefully not a good idea for its own sake?
When the effort to optimize something would be better spent elsewhere.
On the web there are two important points. First, bandwidth isn't always abundant so optimising is worthwhile, and secondly optimising is effectively a negative cost if you just don't include wasteful features in the first place - building optimally is less effort than building wastefully.
