A dishwasher also “boots up” instantly, and they come with WiFi now! The point is that they are not comparable.

Modern phones shouldn't need the same level of bloat as modern computers, so your Linux argument fails there as well.

I see. You haven’t any working understanding of computers and logics. That explains a lot.

People like you are so detached from the actual complexity of modern interfaces like USB, you don’t even know that there was a time we couldn’t even plug in a mouse without having to restart the whole computer, or that there were six different video interfaces incompatible with each other, etc.

This fake ass “things were faster before” is laughable. Yeah, go ahead and display a 32-bit color image in DOS while playing a sound file. Oh, it doesn’t have a complex compositor and a window manager? It cannot handle multitasking? It doesn’t even load your sound card drivers outside of an application? No shit.
