I understand the first `ExtractCost <= UserScalarsCost` check, because if the lanes are already extracted from the user `TreeEntry`, then there's no need to extract or scalarize operands.

But the check below is still a bit of a mystery to me:
```
  // The node is profitable for vectorization - success.
  if (ExtractCost <= UserEntryCost)
    return true;
```
Which node are we talking about? The user node has already been vectorized, and this is checking nothing about the to-be-created node, so I feel this check should be removed.
