I feel like this comment is from an alternate reality where the Windows lock screen doesn't just drop all your inputs for a random period of at least a few seconds when you try to enter your password.

Ooh I know how to fix this one! gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Do not display the lock screen > Enabled Yes, the screen still locks, it just doesn't eat your keystrokes anymore. If you have Windows Home edition without gpedit.msc there's a registry key you can set instead, you'll have to google it.

It is very much true that there's a very large amount of things that could be improved on the status quo with rather minimal amounts of effort, that could resolve a vast majority of the brokenness of responsiveness of UIs. But decreasing dropped frames/inputs by 10x or 100x is still just simply not gonna make it "real-time". I remember the windows lock screen being particularly annoying (an animation had to finish..?) but on Linux Mint I've always been able to start typing away immediately, so much so that I start blindly typing in the password before my monitor has finished turning on. Properly queueing events (keyboard ones at least) should be pretty simple to do properly, but of course many things still get it wrong.

I’m a Windows fan, but this bugs me so much, prior to Windows 8 I could go Ctrl Alt Del and instantly start typing my password, now I have to wait a couple of seconds before entering being able to enter my PIN.

To be fair, SDDM has the same issue, at least on multi monitor setups.
