[MitchBomcanhao]

according to the documentation - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/layouts/bindable-layouts

Bindable layouts should only be used when the collection of items to be displayed is small, and scrolling and selection isn't required. While scrolling can be provided by wrapping a bindable layout in a ScrollView, this is not recommended as bindable layouts lack UI virtualization. When scrolling is required, a scrollable view that includes UI virtualization, such as ListView or CollectionView, should be used. Failure to observe this recommendation can lead to performance issues.

So it seems that what you're getting is exactly what is expected.

Failure to observe this recommendation can lead to performance issues. ???
Yes of course , because collection view or listview has higher performance , is real ?
I am sorry. I left using maui and xamarin.
