I get that it works.  But the bigger question is Why?  As you point out following this will take over 8 hours just to load the data.  Better to either learn to do delegation in SharePoint or use a better data source with better delegation support like SQL or CDS.  Trying to handle 60,000 items inside PowerApps is an exercise in futility.
