The simple answer is that water at higher elevations will boil at lower temperatures, so instead of your boiling water being at 212F it's maybe only 200F, since it's not as hot you need to cook things longer to get similar results.

True. Cooking spaghetti at higher elevation needs to do it longer than cooking at sea level. At elevated places, atmospheric pressure is lower than at sea level. Water boils below 100C at higher elevation. That's why, one needs to cook it longer.

water boils slower at higher elevations.

water just boil at 100°C... it cannot have higher or lower temperatures while boiling... it is physics
you can have high temp JUST to make water boil before
