Why cant we have a quick exit to desktop?
I always find excessive multistep exits irksome, and MEA on PC at least is one of the worst. You exit MP, wait for the title screen to load (which is far from instant, then you have to hit the sp...

I do agree.
Sure I could use windows shortcuts or hardreset my PC.
But a simple option like 'exit to desktop' or 'exit to main menu' would suffice and shouldn't be hard to implement (and why wasn't it done in the first place?!).
And honestly I do not understand this title screen which you have to leave with space bar at all. I did not understand it in M1 & ME2 and I do not get it in ME:A.

With win10 you can also just use Windows Key + Tab, then open 2nd desktop, task manager and exit program.
If you're finding that Alt F4 doesn't work or is slow or are unable to Alt + Tab to desktop, sometimes tabbing just doesn't want to work.
It might help in some cases to open a web browser before launching the game, which helps you tab faster, as there's something to tab to. Then it's just a case of closing the window or opening task manager..
As for the issue, you're asking for a menu option which unloads multiplayer.. to enter menu, to then exit. The reason it's slow.. is because your pc is slow.

That is almost insulting to OP and to anybody who regards the current procedure as not efficient or user orientated.

And the Macintosh computer was praised and loved for its intuitive and easy to use UI (one button mouse! - no joke).
Andromeda doesn't appear as a marvel in programming already, no wonder people refrain from forcing Windows to close the task.
I guess for the same reason we have to press space key EVERY SINGLE TIME we launch the game as it must be incrediby hard to take us directly to the menu...
