It goes back to the days of expensive computing resources when every process mattered (the days of wooden computers and iron programmers...).
Exactly - it mattered once, but doesn't today.
No, efficiency always matters - it is just that people who can afford to waste resources don't care and people who make commissions on selling the supplies actively discourage it. You probably wouldn't make a pipeline of cat|cat|cat|cat to get input somewhere so why use even one?
