I feel like that's long been a trend- instead of trying to lift users up and educate them, let's just give up and hide things.
It's really easy to over estimate the Windows user base. I have a family member who has gotten so pissed that the start menu moved from the left to the center that she refuses to use it. Functionality is more or less the same but apparently that's enough for her to not want to use Windows 11.
And no she won't use Linux.
She hates when Facebook changes it's UI and stopped using that a few years ago (probably a good thing).
I get it honestly. The reason I've never bumped from windows 10 to 11 is because of the taskbar changes, it's a single issue killer for me. There are a lot of reasons to ditch windows in general though so now I'm moving to Linux. It isn't my daily driver yet but I'm getting there. I can have whatever taskbar I want with Linux
You can move the taskbar back to the left, it's a setting in the context menu. But by all means, please don't let that drag you away from Linux. Windows is going to get a lot worse in other ways soon. It always does.
