My experience is the exact opposite. If anything 2-3 second button clicks are more common than ever today since everything has to make a roundtrip to a server somewhere whereas in the 90s 2-3s button click meant your computer was about to BSOD.

Edit: Apple recently brought "2-3s to open tab" technology to Safari[1].
