A significant issue is that compiler "optimizations" aren't gaining a lot of general benefit anymore, and yet they are imposing a very significant cost on many people.
Lots of people still are working on C/C++ compiler optimizations, but nobody is asking if that is worthwhile to end users anymore.

Data suggests that it is not.
