Washing underwear on its own?

Do people really wash all underwear on its own at 60 degrees as suggested on some internet pages?
I never used to just in with normal clothes wash , always keep tea towels etc seperate .
But after reading thought i would try.
But then it means leaving underwear to wash maybe once a week but still a quarter load and slowest 60 wash in my machine is 1.30 hrs
Currently i wash darks , coloureds , whites , underwear , towels , tea towels , bedding , face masks , floor clothes all in separate washes thats 9 separate washes minimum but normally have at least 2 dark washes a week and 2 coloured , and then theres the dog beds which i wash prob fornightly and always run machine on 95 service wash after
But struggling to keep up at moment working full time with so many washes and time they take
Quickest wash is 15 mins but nothing really goes in this so next up is 58 mins full wash , but 60 all over an hr
How do others divide theres ?

I used to always wash mine by hand every night and hang in the bathroom. I don't now or at least not often.
