The Pareto points are where you sacrifice the least of anything to get the most of everything.
There's the saying about buying computers. Good, Cheap, Fast, pick any two. That's where you would prioritise.
If someone makes something that better, cheaper, and faster, or even pretty close to the best on two of those and clearly better on the other. It's a Pareto point.
Over time computers are getting better, cheaper and faster (software notwithstanding). The leading edge of that advance of all of the things is the Pareto front.
> a Pareto front represents the set of solutions where no solution outperforms any other solution in the set at every objective
I do not believe you are correct when you say
> something that better, cheaper, and faster, or even pretty close to the best on two of those and clearly better on the other. It's a Pareto point.
Since that would outperform on every objective
GP's point that it's prioritisation does not seem incorrect to me. Prioritisation involves considering trade-offs of various approaches and deciding which aspects & attributes to optimise for, at the expense of others.

It’s really that simple.
Eschew obfuscation.
