I wager that one issue is the generation gap now. I grew up with software on MS-DOS, Windows 95/NT and Unix (SGI IRIX). Shit was just fast compared to today. Technically I blame mainly platform bloat and everything being a webview pretending to be native app these days. But from a human perspective, younger developers never experienced how snappy desktop stuff was back then. So what seems 'ok' or 'fast enough' to them is just how sluggy stuff is, in average, nowadays.
