I remember computers used to take sooo long to start up, that you can press the power button and go make yourself a sandwich. What changed? Hardware got faster obviously, but software also got more complicated and there are more of them to load up no?

Faster processors, but also it’s become standard practice to ship computers with a Solid State Drive for at *least* the operating system. These are a *ton* faster than traditional Hard Disk Drives because they don’t have any moving parts – the computer just goes in and grabs what it needs. They’ve been around for many, many years, just for whatever reason weren’t necessarily the *standard* until the past decade or so.
