Nitpick: `package-initialize` sets up package.el so it's ready to do
pretty much anything, including install/uninstall etc...

So, nowadays (since Emacs-27) you should use `package-activate-all`
instead, which focuses on activating the installed packages without
paying attention to things like the list of existing packages in the
package archives etc...

IOW, it's faster (especially if you're using `package-quickstart`).
