It would take me 10 minutes to prepare what you just described, 20 minutes to eat, and at least 20 minutes to clean up.
Some people don't afford to spend one hour for this, especially in the morning, and some people find 20 minutes of mandatory cleanup exhausting; both physically and mentally.
I love to cook and to eat good food. I cook real, elaborate, dinner at least 3-4 times a week. However, I can't affort to spend one hour every day for breakfast. That being said, Soylent is... awful. For me the alternative is not to eat soylent for breakfast, but to skip breakfast.
- eropple 10y ago20 minutes to clean up? Huh. I just wipe down the stove with a rag and wipe down the skillet and I'm done. (If I'm feeling very lazy, I'll use a paper plate and just chuck it, but I'd rather not so in the dishwasher it goes.) Eating time...well, that's a personal thing. =) I do WFH, so I am more relaxed on that, but I tend to scarf food down, so, eh.

It's just that I am really thorough when it comes to cleanliness in the kitchen.
