As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. Another window into this question is provided by the Web Confluence Metrics project.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. This helps support executive sponsors who then have meaningful metrics to point to in justifying the investments being made. Very rarely have we seen a team succeed that doesn’t set budgets, gather RUM metrics, and carry representative customer devices.
