Unfortunately most business/product owners do not put the performance in top 3 priorities, at least not until is verrry slow or paying customers complain, so we cannot dedicate time to improve it.

This is not really the point I'm trying to make.

If you are fetishising time to first byte then you are prioritising performance. The point is that you should not be prioritising that above everything else in respect to performance.
