It's not an exaggeration when you inevitably end up chaining them. The overhead adds up very quickly and becomes noticeable.

Also they take even longer to start in CI/CD containers.

true, but the moment you add containers to your mix you're functionally admitting that you don't care about startup times. Or possibly, you've been forced to do it by some service provider who doesn't give you a better option...
I mean you're not wrong in general, it's just that if the tool is written in C/C++, Zig, Rust, Golang, OCaml, D, V, and a few others, it still start in maximum 20ms even in containers.
