To be fair, this is a blight that infects all b2b/enterprise platforms. The devs and PMs don't care about speed because they aren't punished for being slow. They don't value speed as a feature because they don't have to and don't lose customers because of slowness.

These deals are made by people who don't use the software because they passed some checklist of features and security audits, not because they are good.

Consumer websites, blogs, and especially eCommerce websites can't get away with that without losing users almost instantly.

The moral of the story is that if you are already a big, wealthy company with a big reputation, you can afford to be shit. If you aren't, you're making a big mistake with 3-4 sec load times.
