I've noticed that, though I'm not sure how much of an issue it is with recent versions.  I had upgraded to Windows 10 soon after it came out (2015, I think?) and had been using that as my main OS and didn't really notice much (if any) slowdown over the next several years.

With SSDs being fairly common these days (especially for the OS boot drive), I don't think filesystem fragmentation would really pose an issue anymore.
