While you do have a fair point, I was referring to the case where one is basically implementing a map operation as a for loop.

Technically this is also possible with for loops, like with OpenMP
Compiler optimizations like function inlining are your friend.
Especially in functional languages, there are a lot of tricks a compiler can use to output more efficient code due to not needing to worry about possible side effects.
Also, in a lot of cases the performance difference does not matter.
Also surely a lot of people would know tar -Create Ze Vucking File and/or tar -Xtract Ze Vucking File
Dogmatic statements like this lead to bad, messy code. I’m a firm believer that you should use whatever style fits the problem most.
Although I agree most code would be better if people followed this dogma, sometimes mutability is just more clean/idiomatic/efficient/…
