They didn't perform worse. It was a trade off between cpu performance and battery performance. They choose longer battery life over raw cpu performance. I think that's a valid tradeoff to make for a device that should last through the day on a single battery charge.

Worse is subjective, I accept.

Battery life vs speed vs reliability. Different people cut it different ways.

I think the issue was that everyone got the one solution without Apple telling them. So for a lot of people, it was perceived as worse.
