That’s quite subjective. I happen to find trigonometry to be elegant and true.
I also agree that trigonometric functions lack efficiency in software.

Where did that come from in the article?
I revisited that article and ... now I have no idea. Maybe I stumbled into some other trig-related article and came back here. Or maybe this one had some A/B content going on?
The only thing I remember at this point is that I copied and pasted that sentence (I didn't type it.) Even search doesn't find the sentence anywhere but HN.
Search finds that sentence on this blog post https://iquilezles.org/articles/noacos/
