case in FreeFileSync, that shows lists of files upwards of 500'000
items, and other deduplicators programs.

Short answer: you are doing it wrong.

Remember, GUIs are not designed to be automated. If you want to extract a
large list of filenames as output from one program to feed into another,
you do it from the command line.
