It does if it has to go through the Windows Defender check. Enough that sometimes I end up launching the same thing multiple times because I get gaslit into assuming I haven't launched it.
It's more around the ads in the start menu, the telemetry they send, and their tendency to reset my telemetry settings around updates.
I don't feel like I'm in full control when I'm using a computer running windows. Which, y'know, is probably fine for 95% of computer users, they want more of an appliance than a general computing experience.
