True, but it's not the total time, it's the complexity involved in build process, as in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Configuration https://wiki.gentoo.or

As a first approximation, one would not expect building a suite of office tools to be more complex than building an operating system kernel.
Also, for the people saying "it's only the kernel, not the whole O/S", consider that building the kernel requires having a running system with all the dependencies.

Kernel is not that big if you look away from all the device drivers (you usually don't need all of them) and has a focus on minimalism. An office suite is a massive complexity monster which skews on supporting more stuff even if it means having more code.
