I'm usually happy with increased efficiency as it represents an increase in performance in the future. Cost is something that seems much more inevitable to go down than performance is to go up, so the two metrics I look for in the state of the CPU market are peak single core performance and performance per watt. Of course, this only applies to observing the industry from outside, I'm sure if I was actually in the market for a new CPU right now I'd probably be happier with a worse performance per watt chip as long as it was cheaper.
As an IT professional, I encounter this frequently—people attempt to save money, only to end up with subpar equipment that hampers their ability to perform their work. In the end, they often lose more money than they would have saved, all because they focused on saving that small amount upfront. Cost savings are not always advantageous; it's akin to the saying, 'Saving a penny to spend a dollar'.
And anything that isn’t compatible with USB-C is subpar equipment.
