`Get-AzWebApp` on subscription is very slow

[o-l-a-v]

Description

Get-AzWebApp with no further parameters for getting all web apps on a subscription is amazingly slow. Might be related to #18266.

It seems to first get resource groups, then foreach those one by one to look for web apps.

Why not use the API directly to LIST all web apps on a subscription in this case?

Here's an example for getting all web apps much faster:

# Assets
$ResourceType = [string] 'Microsoft.Web/sites'


# Get resources as fast as possibru
## Prepare
$Subscriptions = [PSCustomObject[]](
    (Search-AzGraph -UseTenantScope -Query ('resources | where type =~ "{0}" | summarize count() by subscriptionId | project subscriptionId' -f $ResourceType.ToLower())).'Data'
)
$Headers = [ordered]@{
    'authorization' = [string] 'Bearer {0}' -f (Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceTypeName 'Arm').'Token'
}
$ApiVersion = [string](
    (
        Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'Get' -Headers $Headers -Uri (
            'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{0}/providers/{1}?api-version=2015-01-01' -f $Subscriptions[0].'subscriptionId', $ResourceType.Split('/')[0]
        ) -SessionVariable 'Session'
    ).'resourceTypes'.Where(
        {$_.'resourceType' -eq ($ResourceType -replace ([string]::Format('^{0}/',$ResourceType.Split('/')[0])),'')},'First'
    ).'apiVersions'.Where{
        -not $_.EndsWith('-preview','InvariantCultureIgnoreCase')
    } | Sort-Object -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
)

## Get
$Resources = [PSCustomObject[]](
    $Subscriptions.'subscriptionId' | ForEach-Object -ThrottleLimit 10 -Parallel {
        [PSCustomObject[]](
            $(
                Invoke-RestMethod -Uri (
                    'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{0}/providers/{1}?api-version={2}' -f $_, $Using:ResourceType, $Using:ApiVersion
                ) -Headers $Using:Headers -WebSession $Using:Session
            ).'value'
        )
    }
)
