This is less a design choice and more the reality of package-based architecture, but - menus that I have to wait before interacting.
I spent most of my life being able to enter clicks and hotkeys as fast as I want, because they would queue up and the app would resolve them in order. Now I can’t type too fast after pressing the Windows Start button, because the start menu needs time to load before it can handle KEYPRESSES. Tapping Windows key followed by “Discord” will search for “iscord” or something if I type full speed.
It feels like every modern app is optimized for a slow person browsing one-handed on a phone.

They assume all windows users only have one hand free at all times
