In a perfect world, you would be right. But that doesn't seem to be the world we are living in, because so many apps seem to need a banner while they launch (openoffice, gimp, banshee, etc.). I'm not 100% sure that we need such a strong feedback during launching, but just saying that we'll make everything fast enough and slow activities won't bite us is a bit courageous, at least.
