We often see people complaining about how some UIs on various OSes or softwares haven't changed in years but, in a lot of cases, it's just that once you've found the most clean, simple and obvious way to make a UI element/menu/etc., why would you ever change it?
I mean, there's a huge lot of objects in our everyday life that haven't seen change in their basic shape since...their very invention, and nobody would have the idea of changing that. Why should it be different for softwares?

So far, according to my few usings of Windows 11, there's a significant number of pretty basic UI ergonomy stuff where you get the feeling that someone at Microsoft look at how they are in Windows 10, and said: "Nah, it's too simple and obvious, let's make it more complicated."
Like, another one I discovered this morning, default applications. On Windows 10, you got a simple, clear, user friendly screen in the settings where you choose your default browser, mail client, music player...
On Windows 11, someone felt it's a clever idea to remove that screen, and replace it by what on Windows 10 are the more advanced options to fine tune which soft opens which type of file.😫
