I'm pretty annoyed with how fast this feels. Wish MacOS was this fast launching things.

You're so right. When did Apple take the wrong turn? What caused to become this slow at launching simple apps?

Gatekeeper? XProtect? Swift? SwiftUI?

Probably all of them? On modern versions, Gatekeeper still adds a bunch of milliseconds and possibly a RTT network request to Apple before the first launch of many apps; although I think Apple's binary checking is cached for 24 hrs or something.
