There are some tried-and-true principles that have worked since the dawn of computing.
For example, if response time is less than 0.1 sec, whatever the user is doing is "interactive" and does not disrupt the flow of the task.
I remember there were similar statistics for web page response time (number of lost views as response time increased). These seem like they might be similar to app launch speed.
That said, I wonder if this "ios spp launch time" post was something that management pursued in a data-driven way, or some engineer getting annoyed and scratching an itch (or something in the middle)
