Unused code shouldn’t cause a performance issue though, should it? Isn’t this just a matter of downloading it, but never branching into?

Performance on the web is more than just runtime. That time spent downloading the Javascript and parsing it is part of the page's load time, even if the Javascript isn't executed.
