I have a 2020 Intel Mac (quad core, 16gb RAM) and it feels as slow as the Packard Bell from 2000 when I was a kid. The launchpad takes 1-2 seconds to show a bunch of icons. Absolutely insane!

A lot of that is on the OS vendors (and security requirements drive some inefficiencies that didn't used to be needed either).
