I have at least 2 kitchen appliances where the delay is too high, and the user experience is that you have to press and hold the button in order to trigger it, because tapping it too fast doesn't count.
So frustrating, when the right way to do it is so easy.
Maybe I just need a microwave with Cherry MX keycaps.
Too many people find a solution that fits the bare minimum requirement and move on, leading to years of frustration from the end users. Spend a little more time using the thing like an end user would, and you can solve that issue much better, usually.
onClick event handlers in most GUI triggers on mouse button releases, for example.
Only reason to do it other way is if you have some limitations. Like timer being costly on resources (valid concern for microcontroller)

A little time won't give you much. Those are kind of problems where you need to be using it daily in anger to find the issues.
Like the buttons on elevator where I live. I press the button, it lights up, I do it few more times, debounce works fine!
Another day I'm in hurry, press it quickly, does not work. Turns out someone picked the worst way to debounce (wait till it is ON for that amount of ms), and on top of that tied LED to button itself so you see the light flash but button does not turn on). So you can't just tap it quickly, and you can't risk tapping it more than once because that would cancel the floor request
