I think GP was trying to be sarcastic. Or else, what exactly is supposed to be bad about trying to minimize boot time?

there is a bit of sarcasm in there, but most server and desktop machines stay on all the time. Amortized over 1000 days of uptime, that 30 second boot time is not worth messing with.
Microsoft broke suspend to ram with its Modern Standby [1] around 5 years ago. So fast boot times is a thing again )
