That’s probably part of it, but NTFS has just been slow forever and ever. Anything involving lots of small files is just pain. Perhaps it seems “normal” for anyone used to Explorer progress dialogs, but it’s not.
And Microsoft just doesn’t seem to care :-(.

They care, as much as a group of people without a mind of its own can care, but it's a use case that was not common among windows software when NTFS was designed. Other design considerations were more important than high performance while writing or reading 1 million small files per minute.

It's not Windows Defender. Not entirely, anyway. NTFS is slow when reading or writing lots of small files. It just is, and it always has been, and it's because of how NTFS was designed, if I am remembering correctly.
As a daily windows user, I'm not surprised if it is Defender. I have some files and folders in exclusion list because Defender was interfering with those files that the software is trying to use.
