I noticed people have very low expectations about modern application performance. My mom finds it completely reasonable that her TV or car audio need 5-10 seconds to boot. I guess that because almost everything is a web-page now (including web-pages wrapped in a window like electron apps), people simply got used to seeing a lag every time they click. And I remember how my jaw has almost dropped when in 2022 I saw an operator of a POS that used a 80x25 TUI coming from a dinosaur era coded probably with Borland TurboVision... Man, how fast that was! Some windows literally appeared on the screen for a fraction of a second (the operator obviously memorized the sequence of actions). The fact that I found it unusual, when in fact it should be a norm, also speaks something about the performance of today software.
