Why does waste and broken customization not matter?

Why does waste and broken customization not matter?
Broken customization is entirely subjective.
As for waste - for the past decade or so, the consumer computing world has been in an almost unanimous consensus that computing power is cheap, and that it's not worth optimizing away a few hundred megabytes of storage or RAM. And macOS is _nowhere_ near being the worst offender here. If you really need to point a finger at waste, look no further than Windows, where just about everything these days is a WebView. Now that's waste.
I'm pretty confident that the taskbar on Windows 11 alone eats up more RAM and CPU time than every single macOS service that's running but not actually being used combined.
What is subjective about objectively saving time in your workflow? Or saving space that you can save more of your precious photos?
Also why should I care about worst offenders, that's not a coherent argument when discussing this specific offender.
P.S. Also, in what kind of world subjective perspective doesn't matter for the subject?

What part of your workflow requires modifying the system volume on macOS? As a long-time power user of macOS, I don't even need to disable SIP. I've worked my workflow around the limitations.
macOS and Linux power users are two different species. One will work around the restrictions imposed by the overlords, the other will beat the system into submission.
Of course you can also beat macOS into submission, but then you're in for a bad time.
