They actually take a long time because people put them off. Catch 22.

I generally allow rebooting after each update is downloaded. I haven't had any case where it did not take a long time, and putting off the reboot until after a second set of updates has downloaded doesn't seem to make it significantly worse.

Eh. I regularly update my Windows gaming PC and every time it takes a long time to restart and apply updates. Far more than macOS and Ubuntu. And this is not new behaviour.
