Yes, all things being equal, your understanding is valid. But let's do a car comparison.
You have your current car. It burns a little gas running idle, and much more when you're using the gas pedal to accelerate.
Now you buy a new, Windows 11 car, and it not only burns more gas idling, but when you accelerate it sucks down so much gas you can watch the gas meter go down.
The outrage is that the OS is so badly designed and implemented, something you do a lot causes everything else on your computer to slow down, and costs you extra in your electricity bill, because it is needlessly consuming irrationally huge amounts of CPU power to open a menu.
