My friends circle has less universal distaste for the idea of efficiency, and it seems to be quite contextual in popular media (“If you can be one thing, be efficient.”—Wayne, Letterkenny).
I think it’s not popular in far-mode discussions because it’s explicitly about tradeoffs. Acknowledging that there are competing desires kind of sucks when you want to signal wholehearted support for whatever harebrained idea your friends or parents are supporting now. It’s extremely popular in near-mode planning—nobody I know argues in favor of waste (OK, that’s not true—we’ll argue any side of any issue, just for drill. But when we’re trying to actually do something, efficiency is accepted as important.)
