Agreed. I see a lot of people upset at Apple coming up short on many basic things, but I was a Windows user for decades and found that to increasingly be the case with Windows as well. I wonder if people simply have higher expectations from Apple because of its "polished" presentation. Windows is known to be less polished but (used to) be more easily customizable and less of a walled garden (imo all that's changing now so there's really no reason to use Windows any more). People are cool with Windows being less polished because its understood that you're supposed to make it your own.

After ClassicStartMenu and a number of other important utilities being flagged by Windows Defender or simply not working anymore and after start bar advertisements and un-overrideable keyboard shortcuts to open the Windows Store I didn't see what Windows had left to offer besides legacy compatibility
