You say that but they rewrote the start menu and task bar from scratch. Something you see cried for over and over again by folks who think that rewriting is easy.

The end result is a painful, inflexible, and overly opinionated piece of UI that is slowly re-learning lessons learned by it's fore barer and is likely to never be as capable of what it replaced. From beta people wanted to resize and reposition it and that feature is still nowhere to be seen after 5 years (including public preview).

I have little to no confidence that the develpers currently in the Windows org can, collectively, build their way out of this in any time frame that feels reasonable.

I have faith that rewrite was done because some exec told them to do it, rather that out of a desire to make a better start menu. The result is shoddy work from someone who clearly didn't want to do it, and got told 'no' when they had ideas which would genuinely improve the experience.
