Maybe on consoles. The only PC games I've played in the last decade that took minutes have been GTA5, Destiny 2, and heavily modded Minecraft. Most games load in under 15 seconds.

If anything, it's the other way around. PS5 games often don't even have loading bars, since they assume almost-instant streaming of assets from the SSD.

Subnautica takes ages to load.

I like how 15 seconds is considered a decent bar.

15 seconds is my upper bar here, and it includes known, very poorly optimized, alpha games. Not once did anyone use the word decent here, you are imagining unsaid things.
