Apps got a lot larger?

Also they added desktop compositing animations.

Opening a command prompt or mspaint is not exactly demanding and opens instantly on modern computers too when all desktop compositing animations are turned off.

Instantly? Are we watching the same video? Have you not used any version of Windows past 2000? It took well over a second for explorer to open (and even longer to load) on the modern laptop; It even took over a second for the terminal to load. Having native programs open in under a frame on modern hardware would be trivial just ask the kernel team to write the application software.

I literally just tested it on my Win10 PC and it's instant (I have all compositing animations turned off).
