When you start the game you are greeted with a blank black screen. Eventually the Mojang logo loading screen appears after a solid 2 minutes, but then the game crashes completely. The game crashing has only just started for me, previously I only had the long load time. The game is completely unplayable now.

I can confirm that the issue is somehow related to saved data. My sister started having long load times and lag in version 1.11.4, however my game was running fine. After the 1.12 update she can no longer start the game on her account at all, and again I am having no problems.
We each have our own switch so I did some troubleshooting. A new account on her switch with no existing Minecraft save data is able to run the game just fine. Adding her account to my switch without downloading her cloud save data allows her account to access and run the game without issue. After downloading her cloud save however, her account can no longer launch Minecraft without crashing.
It seems like some data is somehow corrupted. However for that to crash the entire launcher without selecting to play a saved world or without any resources packs actively enabled... It is a bit odd.
Yes, it seems that the only current solution would be to delete all of the save data. Before 1.12.0 I had constant lag/freezes ingame, but 1.12.0 fixed those issues. Now I have this... I decided to keep my previous stuff backed up to the cloud. I was able to access my worlds by using airplane mode when I had my previous data installed.

I have this issue too. The long loading times were present before 1.12 (it started around the same time as the extreme lag), but now it just crashes once it reaches the Mojang logo.
The only solution I've found is to delete my save data.
