I hear people say that about Nextcloud often, which is part of why I haven’t bothered setting it up yet.

Is there a technical reason why it’s slow and clunky? Any problematic choices with how it was built?

    Sure. But serving files is the core functionality of Nextcloud. You can remove every other functionality. But the files app cannot be removed.

      I agree. They’re suffering from feature creep I fear

      I disagree. The extras and modularity are the core functionality. If you’re just serving files, there’s SFTP, WebDAV, etc.
