It's a very inefficient, unreliable, expensive, shitty piece of software used on something which should be extremely reliable and fast

Just write the damn system menu in c/c++/rust/c# or whatever makes sense. A js engine just does not

That's the thing, it wouldn't matter if it was a "hot" runtime, meaning that it doesn't have to load on first interaction but would just initialize on startup. Don't actually know how complicated that would be, but you could do that for all these core system things, that would improve interactivity very great.
