Well, imagine you're the big boss of a 2000 employee firm. When the OS
you have on all the computers of your firm boots up one minute faster
every morning, your employees can just work one more minute every day.

And you've got 2000 employees, i.e. 2000 people can work one more minute
every day, i.e. you earn 2000 minutes of work every day. Multiply it by
the number of day work in a year, and then take into account the wages
of your employees and then you'll understand how important it is for you
to have a fast booting OS.
