I think I confused 'rapid' with 'action' chess, or whatever
they call it. The name is irrelevant anyway as what mattered
in that thread is the fact that these time controls used to
be too fast to be considered serious chess (with which I mean
chess that counted for norms and such)

It's faster than it used to be, and many players have problems
with that.
