I don't tailor adventure content to try and push the limits of what an optimized character is capable of, so if someone sits down to one of my campaigns with a character optimized for something they are going to stomp all over that something (and hopefully enjoy doing so, as that's about the only reason I can imagine as to why someone would bother optimizing in the first place; because they want their character to not be challenged in their chosen area of optimization)
As such, my players don't optimize much - or, more accurately, they realize that the sort of character that is most optimal for one of my campaigns is one with a well-rounded set of capabilities with no pronounced short-comings.
