I wonder how many projects really need the performance?

Most projects are integrating parts into a whole. While expert programmers might be needed to create the parts & package them as libraries, how often is the same true of larger assemblies of parts that solve a domain problem?

Blueprints in Unreal Engine are an interesting case study. Programmers create components in C++ and expose APIs for them. Level designers use Blueprints to integrate & orchestrate those components into levels, without the same need for programming expertise.

Anything scalable can make use of performance improvements, so that means production applications with hundreds and thousands of concurrent users is a right example in my experience. Apart from better usability, performance enhancements results directly in greater capital-efficiency(server costs).
