All nice comments from the author. Good ideas, except that most of the time these should come from upper-management: security and performance? They are additional features. We'll bother with them later.
Lots of developers have great ideas when they are given space, meaning when it's in the "sprint". Some developers simply don't know about the existence of benchmark tools, etc., but, by experience, many of them know how to google.
What matters is 1) time-to-market, 2) it's swooshy enough, 3) it does what it's supposed to do.
I may also completely wrong: it's not always management to be bad here. Sometimes, it's a "bunch" of people who think they are doing the right thing (like choosing a technology instead of another). Management can't always be blamed for it (of course not) - especially when one of the people choosing is trustworthy.
