The cheaper or more efficient something is, the more it is acceptable to waste.
On a 8 bit microcontroller, you usually don't waste too much resources because you are really limited, on the other side of the spectrum you now have processing power on demand, so in a way it does not always make much sense to be as efficient as possible.
