Visual Studio is not native, large parts of it are built in .NET. Hence the slowness.
Note: native means the platform's native toolkit, running with the best performance on that platform.
E.g: Java or C and C++ for Android, C and C++ for Linux, C and C++ and Obj-C for macOS, C and C++ for Windows, etc.
Things that are not native: Python, .NET, Xamarin, JavaScript, Java on anything except Android, etc
