I'm not convinced that boot up time is irrelevant. Maybe for some use

my time waiting while my system is performing internal tasks such as
start up and shutdown? In a perfect world there are no such things as
boot up/shutdown, you just touch the muse or press a key or open up a
lid in your notebook and the system is there ready for you. Wasn't this
the reason why computing has evolved in last 40 years?

I would think that the speed with which a system starts up / shuts down
would be dependent upon what the machine was built to do. If you've got
a computer that's being used in a corporate environment, it might make
it more efficient, help the "core values" of the business and just be a
machine easier to administer if it's got a quick startup/shutdown time.
On the other hand if its just for personal use, and depending on if
you're running some application that is critical to you, then the times
might not be as important as actually having the applications and the
programs on the computer working. Just my 2 cents.
