Posting because I found lots of threads here and elsewhere from users experiencing this problem, and many of them don't seem to have solutions.
Problem: in Wayland (in my case, Sway) with the nvidia driver (in my case, the open driver), Chrome would take 1 minute or longer to launch. The icon would appear immediately in the tray, but the application windows themselves would not appear.
Solution: in my case, what solved it was installing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. I already had xdg-desktop-portal-wlr installed, but apparently that doesn't provide everything:
Multiple backends can be installed and used at the same time. For example, a Sway setup may use xdg-desktop-portal-wlr for screen sharing support and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk as a fallback for all other interfaces that xdg-desktop-portal-wlr does not implement.

Prior to installing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, one of the messages when launching Chrome from the command line was a problem finding/calling something like "org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser" (I don't have the exact message anymore).
I hope this helps someone else struggling to find a solution for this problem!
