Is it still snappy when you're loading an 1Gb document though? And is it as secure as macOS when opening untrusted content?

Lots a bloat are caused by inefficient programming, but not all bloat is useless.

I doubt you’d wish for it if the price was the limitations and incompleteness of MenuetOS. While hobby operating systems are great for exploring possibilities, you quickly bump into an endless stream of tiny frustrating inconveniences.

    an endless stream of tiny frustrating inconveniences

That sounds suspiciously like OS X, especially the newer releases.

Try being frustrated by a really basic USB stack with no hot-plug USB support. Or by no unicode support, no vector fonts, or a multi-user security model. Is that frustrating enough for you? Okay, how about no process isolation or memory protection? Does that sound like macOS to you?

Pretty much it. An modern OS is more than just a window and file manager, 90% of the work is in all the edge cases that we take for granted.
