Hi @NotMyRealName, Thank you for getting in touch about this. I understand your perspective.

The issue you’re experiencing may be related to how images are loaded in Figma.

Figma only downloads high quality versions of images within your current view, so exporting content that includes images outside your current view could take longer than expected.

For more information, you can refer to Image loading and performance.

I hope this clarifies things a bit. Please let us know if there’s anything else I may have missed.

Thanks once again for reaching out.
