That's only considering part of the equation. We use software because it does things faster or more correctly than us. A slow and bloated spreadsheet software will still be usually way faster than manual calulation, and more correct. That way, you can understand why some people would prefer more features to faster software. The new feature allows people to do some things way faster than before. Because when a software can't do something, people still do it. The classic is exporting data in spreadsheets and doing stuff with it. That happens all the time in big organizations. And it's usually slower and less correct than having a way directly in the software to do that.
So there is, in fact, a performance level that's good enough: faster than doing it manually, or as fast/slower but more correct. That's the point at which software becomes useful.
That's a fair point of view, but I think it's wrong. Travelling might feel way better, because you're doing something, and not waiting, but still, it's slower.
