Why programmers choose convenience over performance?

Several tools are resource hungry, making it challenging for small businesses to keep up with server costs. Zod for example is 150 slower than regular typeof checks. I wrote small article for those who are interested https://ift.tt/REtfKrI. The problem is not Zod, but rather the programmers who lack the ability to write efficient code. As I write this, my VSCode uses 4.37GB RAM, my terminal Warp (Built in Rust) uses 976MB RAM and Spotify 1.28GB. These numbers are outrageous to an old senior programmer. Let’s not forget that Nasa managed to launch rockets to the moon with only 64kb of RAM.
