Most software doesn't feel any faster compared to Windows 95 (see Wirth's law). Also most shitware does not display a loading bar anymore, instead you get some spinning stuff that's just an animation.

In fairness, that's because users constantly complained about loading bars not being accurate (they'd freeze, change speeds, stop right at the end etc.), but having a "true" loading bar that proceeds smoothly basically requires solving the Halting Problem. So out it went.
