Sounds like you're counting that as a negative. Obviously it depends on the use case, but more often than not I'll lean towards the easier to read code than the most optimal one.

Easy to read is good, but it doesn’t trump correct.
Sure, but it's also generally a lot easier to tell if a simple code is correct (the loop over powers of 10) than the more complex ones (using log and pow); especially when it comes to edge conditions.
