One could argue though if you're purposely designing your systems in such a way where they operate slower than they could otherwise, that in itself is just performative slowness.

Most of the processes that I think this author wants to see adopted don't even need to be slow, necessarily. More than anything it's just shocking how much modern software is so utterly bare bones in terms of features, especially around security. While I was attending a therapist not long ago, she had me use an app service I won't name to manage my appointments and payment information, and every login was done with a magic link. This was both annoying, because the app wouldn't stay logged in for a certain amount of time at all and I had to have it send me another password link every time I used it, and also ineffective, because if my email was compromised, nothing was stopping that actor from getting full and complete access to this app.

I don't think it was necessarily a huge risk, but there was literally no options for this. No MFA, not even a password or a PIN to set for stuff like billing information. I could see this being an absolute nightmare to unwind if you happened to have your email breached.
