Why is development and tempo important?

In this game... honestly i thought after first few moves i win. This person seemed to use the failing "Queen Grabber" strategy. Very risky and usually loses a game. I had fun beating him with ease. He made a lot of mistakes in this game... and eventually loses his queen to 1 of my sneaky bishops

Move 12... just laugh... and know the game has basically ended with me play BXb5 (Bishop takes queen on B5). Apparently I'm really smart according to my opponent... I dont believe so... but rather he just made a lot of mistakes. O well... i thought the game was funny and that it helped illustrate how Pawn grabbing doesn't work.

Scotch gambit goes like this:
