Long time ago I worked at a hospital and once had to go to a certain department to fix something on computer nurses were using and was horrified how slow the computer and everything was. So I asked around and ladies happily explained their daily morning routine:
- turn on computer
- do a morning checkup of all patients (around 20 minutes)
- when they got back, computer usually finished starting Windows, if not, they waited another 10+ minutes for it to get ready
- then they started Word (another 10 minutes)
- and opened their main document with notes..or to be exact wanted to open the document. That took another 10 minutes
TL;DR - users can get used to pretty much anything because they don't know it could be so much better

We have the type of PC where McAfee uses 80% of resources for an hour every Monday morning. PCs with spinning hard drives take a good 15-20 minutes to fully boot, and some engineers still have those. Those who complain just get told to wait a few years for their planned laptop replacement, to finally get an SSD. There's no solution, so users just cope.
