Yeah it makes no sense. The resize logic already exists in the OS for other purposes (e.g. when changing screen resolutions), plus it was not a problem in Windows 10.

Now I wonder how big of a mess the Windows shell codebase is...

The problem isn't the Windows Shell, rather the pivot to bring UWP into Win32 instead of the original Project Reunion goal.

Check the GitHub repos for WinUI 3.0, WindowsAppSdk, CsWinRT, C++/WinRT, specially the issues and commit rates per week.

It is as if everyone left to Azure, but there are a few left still trying to make the UWP reboot happen.

Most of the community that really bought into it, moved back into plain Win33/.NET, fed up with the WinRT reboots since Windows 8.

Regardless of the possible mess in the Windows Shell, there is a bigger one in management.
