Wow. I didn't even notice this in 2012 13.3" MBP (Mojave v10.14.6) tho.
What about the rest of you?

Yes, and it's not the first time it has happened. This is a major design defect in macOS. Unless you were explicitly sold a network computer, your whole machine should not become unusable just because some server somewhere is
unreachable. With any luck, Apple will be hit with a billion dollar class action suit for all of the work time people lost because of this.

My wife complained yesterday evening that our 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro
was stalled with various apps becoming unresponsive. A restart fixed the issue. I haven't bothered to check the logs to see if this same issue
was in play since the restart resolved the issue.
No issues on any of our other Macs. And I haven't heard about this issue
from any of our friends, family, coworkers, or clients.

Coincidentally, my mum's 2014 21.5" iMac decided to install an update to Mojave this morning, and proceeded to spend most of the morning unresponsive.
Admittedly, running from a hard disk didn't help matters, but even so I've never seen a Mac act like that before. (And yes, I'm going to get it running off an external SSD shortly, which should do wonders for its performance.)

The problem was easily mitigated.

Yeah, it was a super stressful 20 minutes.

Yep, I had the same thing happening here and blamed it to an new update from an app that had been sleeping for more than ten years.
Anyway, here's some more food for thought:

Restarting cleared the issue for most people.

No slowness for me that I noticed, but I'm using High Sierra so don't
have a lot of the stupid security nonsense Apple has been increasingly adding to new macOS versions. :-\

If it is a TB2 SSD, yes. If it is a USB SSD... well, it'll be a bit
better, but only a bit.

My machine was extremely slow for a couple of hours, and friends on slack almost all reported serious issues. However, most of us assumed it was
an issue in Big Sur RC as we are all running the beta.
It was annoying, but we got around it by redirecting the Apple
gatekeeper server to 0.0.0.0 in /etc/hosts/ Once the problem cleared up,
I we removed the entry and all was back to normal.
I didn't note the name of the specific server.
And having no Internet. ;)

How come still on High Sierra or is your Mac too old?

Yes. When my system had the same symptoms many weeks ago, I cured it by turning of the cable modem and restarting. Again, this is stupid design on Apple's part.

Nope. It will run all the newer macOS versions, including Big Sur, but
I don't see any real benefits in updating, and there some negatives ...
plus I don't have time to try and solve all the issues with apps that
may occur when I've already got a computer that is working perfectly
well. As the old saying goes: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
My old beige G3 lasted me 20 years and I only really upgraded that to
MacOS 10.2 because the morons at Vodafone New Zealand screwed up their servers so that MacOS 9 users with dial-up could no longer log in to
the internet. Eventually it died with a hardware failure, otherwise I'd still be using it now. I've also got the same car I've had for about 23 years too.

This "phone home" process being unblockable on MacOS 11 means I may be leaving

I recall seeing my Chrome slow to a crawl, not resolving DNS and all my tabs not loading which was Version 86.0.4240.183. That's the release that replaced 111 which had some security issues on Android. I tried other apps and nslookup/dig/ping/traceroute on the terminal. They were fine but that version
of Chrome would only partially load my pages. Safari, Firefox, Brave and Opera had no problems with the same pages. I went back to Version 86.0.4240.111 and the pages loaded fine. I've been waiting ever since for 183
to be upgraded until yesterday when 198 came out. It's fine but this is the reason I keep two versions of DMGs around, even though I have Time Machine running.
I thought this slowdown might be related but it seems not. When this happened with Chrome was about a week ago and it was only with Chrome.
This "phone home" process being unblockable on MacOS 11 means I may be leaving
MacOS and Apple with my next system. It most certainly won't be one of the Apple M1 systems.

I hear you. It would be nice if some government would step in to stop
this snooping, but it seems that even the EU is no longer interested
in protecting privacy.
