Watching people board a plane makes me lose hope for the future, every time.
Small personal items under the seat instead of in the overhead bin? Nope. Turn your bag sideways in the overhead bin to make extra room for others? Nope. Sit in the correct seat? Nope. Stand there in the aisle for 3 solid minutes shuffling around holding up the boarding process? Check. Place a stranglehold on the top of the chair in front of you shaking it as you move in the row behind while it’s occupied without saying pardon me or excuse me? You bet.

And my personal favourite, people in the aisle seat not standing up to let people access the window and middle seats, forcing you to step over them
Next time that happens to me I hope I have a fart ready to go

Are these people so clueless that they don't realize the plane can't leave until everyone is in/seated? You see this all the time and I don't get it.

There’s an element of stupidity but mostly, people don’t care about other people today. Blare your music with no headphones in a crowded public area? Dangerously cut across traffic without signaling because you don’t want to miss your turn? People suck and are only getting worse.

Do you think boarding is the bottleneck? They won’t board efficiently and use boarding order to sell upgrades. To that suggests inefficient boarding doesn’t delay take off. If it did we’d board back to front window to aisle with seating grids on the floor to stand in and have all bin space more formally allocated.

In aggregate no. They plan enough time for the average number of morons and build that into the schedule.
On an individual flight basis boarding is absolutely the bottleneck. Once everyone is on board and sitting down they're generally ready to leave, and I've had flights with few passengers leave as much as 15 minutes early.
I think the not boarding from both doors is at least partially a weather thing - in Australia I've boarded planes where both rear stairs and the front jet bridge were used, and it was considerably faster.
