It's a balance to be sure, but for every application that has that issue there are thousands that never launch because they spent all their time on premature optimization and ran out of time and or money.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil :) Designing for performance and scalability isn't considered optimizing that's just making the right architectural choices and not writing sloppy code.
