>Reminds me of how each version of Windows is "the fastest Windows ever!"

Says who? I searched for "windows 10 fastest" and the only relevant results were:

* claims about edge being faster, which is probably true given how much work they put into optimizing it for windows

* third party reviews saying that windows 10 S was faster (than home/pro), which is probably also true because it's so locked down that you can't run anything that slows it down

I'm not surprised that engines that prioritize "fresh" results only turn up claims that the most recent version of Windows is the fastest. Even so the most recent version does have higher system requirements than its predecessor.

Also your search fu is weak. Try: "Windows new version" faster old version

Windows 11 faster than Windows 10:

Windows 10 faster than Windows 8:

Windows 7 faster than Windows Vista:

To be clear I don't doubt that the claims are technically true. Lies by omission are often technically true.
