I don't know, let's find out! Lathering up: 5 mins, trimming & shaping beard... aaagh aagh blood and shaving cream everywhere aah!!
...
ahem, where was I? Oh right, 5-15 mins, washing hair 5 mins, rinsing everything off 5 mins. Another 5-15 mins if I'm doing the downside fluff, too, and that's including no time for just enjoying. Of course, I can do a lot of that while in shower. So I guess 30 mins on the typical.
I fogrot where that shower length recommendation came from, especially so short. I know someone was way back asking the same question, getting fussed that their kids were spending more than few minutes in the shower due to water costs. And everybody was replying like "Sure, no more than 32 -- 45 seconds, tops!". But if you can afford that and it's not a drought or anything, sure why not enjoy it.

@beautifulsnowstorm There are regions where water is so scarce it needs to be rationed of course, and on overall conservation. And then you have where hot water is just expensive, but I shudder to think being so poor as not to afford a shower. Other than that mostly makes me think of various shared-bathroom quarters, where you might not get to keep the place reserved whole morning, indeed.
But the parent post does mean skin health, which seems to be an issue often pushed. But when there are people who take multiple, long, hot showers in a day, let alone swimming in pools literally all day and look none the worse for it, it must not be universal.

I should be using less time but do everything in one sitting, brush my teeth while I’m applying conditioner. So I’m trying my best to be economical. I put treatment in my conditioner so I have to let it sit for 3 minutes before rinsing.

I have a full shower in the morning thats around 20 minuets. I some times have 3 showers later over the rest of the day.

I lay in the bottom of the shower and let the water warm me up. The sound is so zen like. I love it. I also catch a 5 minute nap in there too.

I'm only getting started at 4 minutes. Dryness is more likely from dry air due to heating system

I spend about 15-20 minutes. My building is really old, without much heating but there’s a heater built in the bathroom wall. I close the door, turn it on just enough to warm the room, then turn it off before getting into the shower. With a combination of the heated room and the hot shower steam, it’s just right. And I dress before stepping out of the bathroom.
