There are a ton more "features" in the OS

Including things you like quite a bit, such as WiFi support, thread scheduling, and suspend modes that are worth a damn.

XP could be snappy, but I haven't forgotten how poorly my old XP two-thread laptop multitasked, how the battery didn't last more than an hour, and so on.

Also worth remembering everyone always has a browser open today. In the XP days, you were running Firefox 1.0, a 5MB program.
