I mean, sure, but:

  1. The Windows File Manager is really just awful in that regard. You can get alternative file managers that start up in a fraction of that time, with more features.

  2. Startup time isn't really the worst of it. RAM usage is worse. And if a program uses lots of RAM, it will still appear quite performant. But it makes everything else on your system slower.

There's also the added CPU overhead from using JavaScript for everything to contend with.

As long as the program is not bloated, JavaScript can be fast. Unfortunately that's not the case with most programs.
