I don't really see the bloated-code take here. With this reasoning, there should appear a non-bloated open-source tool that all knowledgeable, smart developers will migrate to in order to get things done faster, and the market will have to follow.

Also waste and token spending could very well be a short-term thing. A lot of teams had crazy AWS bills in the mid-2010s on lambda functions and workflows, then it got cut down and optimized.
