Yeah, and saying "never" is not a good take either. Plenty of customers are willing to spend stiff upcharges to get the best performance because it works for their use case!
Especially in professional settings where that extra minute or so, added up over multiple projects/renders and team members, can mean the difference of thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. Looking at things in terms of percentages is useful but absolute values are important, as well.
The take is that you're never getting more perf/$ (aka value) on top of the line parts compared to lower tier ones. Whether you can utilise that extra more expensive performance to make the worse value worth it for you is irrelevant to their take.
