No, it's not. NTFS is slow, even when it's running under Linux. NTFS has a very pronounced weakness, here.
Performance changing between Windows 7 and Windows 10 means that ON TOP OF NTFS there are other performance problems in Windows 10. It does not mean that it isn't an NTFS problem in the case of Windows 10 -- it means that it isn't ONLY an NTFS problem in the case of Windows 10. It's an NTFS problem in addition to whatever other things Windows 10 is screwing up, when compared to Windows 7.
The difference between Windows 7 and Windows 10 alone? Yes, that's entirely because of Windows 10 and not because of NTFS. There. I never disagreed with that.
A completely pointless remark when versions of NTFS and Windows are correlated. And AFAIK there's been no updated to NTFS itself since the addition of symlinks in NTFS 3.1, released with Windows XP. All "filesystem features" since were added at the level OS, using existing NTFS features.

Yeees? Which would make the issue vary based on the specific version of Windows maybe?

No, but I never claimed such a thing. I'm just pointing out that your assertion that

is bullshit.
