Someone asked me about this, and I'll admit I had no clue, but I checked, and yes, the boot animation and cold startup time in general on Xbox Series X|S consoles has been shortened in the latest Insider builds! Who else noticed?

Can confirm - worked with and to create a shorter boot up animation (~4s) from the original boot up animation (~9s), helping to reduce the overall startup time.
I know this was in the works for a long time, but I'll have to bug Jake for not telling me it was going in!

Does that mean we might get an option in the future to completely bypass the animation and save the remaining 4s?

It’s the other way around, boot time was improved so the animation was shortened to match.

Were there other changes to speed up the loading time, or was the Xbox really just waiting for the video clip to finish?

Please can we get a different Series X/S boot up screen. The sound of it screeching in your ears is painful. Would be nice to get something like what the xbox 360 had
