This is my third high end workstation computer in the last 5 years and my experience has been roughly consistent with.

My corporate vpn app is a disaster on so many levels, it’s an internally developed app as opposed to Okta or anything like that.

I would likewise say that your experience is not universal, and that in many circumstances the situation is much worse. My wife is running an i5 laptop from 2020 and her work intranet is a 60 second load time. Outlook startup and sync are measured in minutes including mailbox fetching. You can say this is all not the app developers fault, but the crunch that’s installed on her machine is slowing things down by 5 or 10x and that slowdown wouldn’t be a big deal if the apps had reasonable load times in the first place.
