Completely disagree here. Switch OS is snappy, and I actually can't understand how anyone would think otherwise. It's certainly faster than the Wii U, and even faster than the PS4 for certain tasks, such as going to the home screen mid game or switching profiles. 

The Nintendo eShop is the slow thing, not the OS in general.

The SwitchOS is not snappy.

Games take awhile to load.
Opening menu's and the eShop has delays.

The Xbox Series/Playstation 5 OS's are "snappy". - But they have the Ram and CPU time to do that...

To prove the point that Switch's OS is too slow for the amount of RAM it uses you had to compare it to two consoles who have almost four times the RAM reserved for their OS AND the RAM those consoles use have over 10x the bandwidth the Switch does. 

It's like comparing a bike to a sports car and saying the bike isn't well built. It doesn't actually prove anything. 

As for your complaints. I'm not sure if your switch is broken, but booting a game from the main menu takes no time at all (an OS task). Loading IN game can take a while, but that's not because of the OS. The opening menu rarely ever has any delays for me. I did mention the eShop already.
