Every single time this complaint was raised the comments would be filled with dweebs acting like Apple could do no wrong and that OP was a lazy idiot for wanting the once 0.5 second gesture not to have to be a 5 second one.

And would you look at that. Turns out Apple agreed with us and added an option, not hard at all. I don’t expect that crowd to actually learn something about how they behave, but I’ll enjoy the satisfaction in knowing that their beloved company told them they were wrong to their faces.
