You're missing the point here. From cold boot to either desktop or password prompt I do not want that time to be less than 10 seconds. Hence why I have to hinder it by extending the BIOS by enabling all checks AND I make my Windows show me the entire list of drives it loads.

why do you want long boot times?

    So I can have time to press F2 / Del / F8 (go to BIOS / go to OS boot options) and not miss because the window is too narrow.

      As I said, how long your computer waits on the BIOS screen to wait for a keypress is independent of the OS boot time, and can be set in the BIOS if you need it to be longer. Booting the OS happens after waiting for DEL, and are independent events, one has nothing to do with the other.
