I doubt that's the case. Security takes a long time for non EE. My AR is march 2022 and the last time I called them (Nov/Dec) I believe they said security didn't even start (received PAL in Sep/Oct). So how these people managed to go through the security stage so fast is very strange. Someone must be pushing them or helping cut corners, that's the only explanation.
IRCC has tons of visa officers. Each Visa Officer has their own mood / preferences. Some visa officers are lazy, some just want to finish up. Maybe, unfortunately, you and moscato's officers were just lazy. It depends.
