You're totally right about startup times with apps like VSCode, but there's a reason that never gets worked on really: the most active users startup those pro apps (VSCode, Photoshop, etc.) and simply don't close them.

Optimizing for startup time probably doesn't end up being much of a gain, better to make sure the experience stays solid once it's already running, and for long periods of time.

Agreed. I do like how it shows the impact that each extension has on startup time, but memory is the real issue I care about.
