I think that you have presented this really well, it is important to talk about performance. It has so many meanings.
You have neatly raised awareness of big o as a rule to learn then at least you are aware you are breaking it.
Performance does translate directly to bandwidth and indirectly to search best practice and client retention as a result.
Bandwidth has a tangeable price. Unreadable code has a performance price. I have done a lot of research in SEO back when Google were less koy with their algorithm. I often say in a sentence that SEO is the payoff from correctly ballencing performance with acessability.
I def agree with you about bandwidth. However, I'll add one thought to that (which may eventually be its own article): I've seen so many frontend dev wring their hands over stripping a few K out of their bundle size - only to deploy it to a content site or e-commerce site that automatically bloats the page with MEGABYTES of additional ad/tracking software. When this happens, I find the debate over bandwidth to be a little silly.

Great article, I am curious what you think.
