It's the same thinking that justifies the few pounds of their own weight one might put on every year. It's never the individual weight increments, it's how they accumulate over time. And you definitely feel that weight (either as a human or in a car).
And it's not just about tracking and track days. It's every time you take the car out onto any kind of winding course - be it a track or some superb twisties in the mountains.

Agree with the first paragraph but not the second. 99% of people wouldn't be able to recognize a 150 lbs weight gain in a car on a road or track in a blind test.
