It only got this bad with modern OSes. I have an old PowerMac G5 and when I boot Mac OS 10.4, I'm always like: "Whoah, does this thing have SSD in it?"
Old systems didn't have so much useless shit running in the background.
I also have and old MacBook Pro with and HDD in it, but it runs Void and honestly, aside from noise I can barely tell the difference, booting is a breeze, it takes longer for it to wake up from hibernation as it's got to read a 16 Gb RAM snapshot off HDD
