Imho, in every part of the stack you need to care about performance when performance is your bottleneck. Yet knowing better algorithms, or better libraries or solutions, assuming similar DX, to obtain the same result, is a plus that removes the idea "performance are not great" from the equation and reduce long term need for refactoring and/or maintenance.
In few words, if it takes the same time to implement the same solution but because you care about performance it's faster by design, you'll be a better developer in the long term than one that "didn't care about performance because FE, yolo!".
There are also a lot of people that mistake FE with business logic, PWA or SPA or MTA needs in terms of architecture and so on and so forth ... saying FE shouldn't care about performance is as short sighted as one could be in this industry, if by FE you consider how much responsibility has JS these days to make literally anything work on the Web.
