Opening Notepad, a DOS prompt, and Paint do not faithfully represent the app load speed experience on that hardware. Try Microsoft Office, or CorelDraw, etc.

Yup. Meanwhile I can fire up nvim or Gnumeric and they also launch basically instantaneously. Selection bias, it's a thing.
You can open notepad, a terminal prompt, and paint on modern Windows and it will be sluggish.
Word 97 opens instantly on my Pentium MMX 200 Mhz with Windows 98 SE (64MB PC66 SDRAM, 8 GB CF Card running in PIO Mode 4). This is a little faster than my Surface Pro 9 opening Word 365.
