At the risk of defending Nintendo, the software update times on the Switch are notably zippy. I don't think I've ever had it take more than 10 seconds (including the reboot after). That's laudable, and nowhere in the ballpark of, say, Apple, where I once went to lunch and came back to find my laptop still installing updates.

Nintendo must have changed things since the early days then, since I recall switch systems updates taking as much as a half hour. You must endure the long download. Then you had to wait a while for it to actually update.
