Congress is protected but soliders arent from profiting. Why are laws so biased?

By this logic the hardware manufacturers or even almighty God can be found responsible. God should have stopped them.

You are missing broader point here. If something is in production and burning cash, it can be replaced with optimised code if system are decoupled. But forcing optimisation earlier will make your developers less impactful and loose interest in the project or job. Most business logic code is updated frequently due to change in requirements and spending 100s of hours for feature which will be used by just small set of users is bad investment. This strategy can help you release some feature faster, get it A/B tested and once you have scaled enough you can start focusing on the individual decoupled system to be optimised.

Hardware is quite cheap. Even with bloated software companies are making ton of money. Software developers like to optimise resource but never have enough time for this as business requirements itself keep changing. Time to market and engineering resource required are bottlenecks here.

Only part of software optimisation which should be focusing early should be cross cutting concerns like logging, monitoring, authentication, etc. Business logics should be separated from these and optimised only when required. Consuming more resource is better than rewriting business logics and fixing bugs.

This is done in regular stock market too. Fake news, speculation, etc are frequent. Ex: “X giant is acquiring Y” claims with no data to back up. What’s different in case of crypto?

What does “Again” refer to? Was something similar already published? Or you meant “Yet another mice models?
