That's got more to do with the size of all the frameworks & libraries loaded in, than the actual code of the app.
A modern desktop app has a lot more expected of it than one from the 1980s (GUI, copy-paste with styled text & embedded objects, drag & drop, undo, etc), and that code costs time to link in, use, and let run.
