Early in Win10 days the calculator 'app' was slower to open than it used to be on a Pentium 75 running Windows 95. It was one of the reasons I migrated away from Windows - only to find Ubuntu decided they wanted to follow suit. WTFSMH.

Well maybe not slower than anything from the 9x era, but it is definitely slower than it was on Vista for example.
Also e.g. the "Whiteboard" program which replaced the older "Sketchpad" program in Windows 10 tablets. The Sketchpad opened even before I released the button on the pen, while the Whiteboard crap just takes forever to open, then takes forever to "login to Microsoft account", then takes forever to load anything...

The tech industry is absurdly dedicated to chasing trends. As an example, most people have forgotten the reason you probably don't have a headphone jack on your phone is because Apple wanted to shill wireless headphones and the entire industry turned on its heel in response.
