That is probably the case, but Windows has always been schizophrenic when it comes to settings - there's the UI, the control panel, the second new control panel, the cli, group policy, the registry...

Frame it as "it's 2025 and this is my first look at Windows", it's pretty bad, and it sucks because if they installed on a Home SKU, we end up having to tell them to reinstall to get control.

Maybe we have Stockholm syndrome.

Microsoft is notoriously bad with naming. In this case likely intentionally. The SKUs: Home = Crap, Pro = OKish Windows, Enterprise = Pro. But people who do not care about lack of RDP server, Hyper-V, BitLocker do not care about the rest, probably. Then confusion araises from "first look at Windows" by pro users.
