I remember waiting for loading modals when you would try to close windows.

In what world was anything faster 20 years ago? Do these readers not remember waiting minutes for their computer to start up?

They're talking about post start up. Yes, disk speeds are much faster now. Other than startup however, everything feels slower. Heck, now the limit on my speed is often internet, not disk.

I literally remember waiting for individual windows to close when I would press the 'x'

It took like 3-5 seconds at least, growing up
