tl;dr if you make absolute dogshit software that takes 4.38 seconds to stabilize its first paint you can make really nice headline claims by "optimizing" it later
Most line-of-business software has a lot of optimization opportunities. Making software optimized takes up time that can be spent building features. The fact that you can just make things go fast without having to take time away from feature building is actually pretty awesome.
Unironically true, can someone question, what is Claude desktop app doing that needs 500k+ lines of code?
Agents complicate something that should be much smaller and simpler and then agents speed it up adding more complexity. I suppose functionally you may say this is fine but aesthetically it is hideous!
