The best argument I found was in the studies that show x% longer page load leads to y% loss of conversion (ie. direct correlation to campaign success, hence revenue).
And the best example for that was the home page, specifically the hero images in a carousel that was under the responsibility of the marketing team. They had tools to upload the images, set the links and alt text in the various languages the site was available in, set a schedule etc so there was no technical involvement at all. Sometimes there would be 6 or 7 images in that carousel, noticeably slowing down page loads on that most important page.
