Perhaps Microsoft doesn't own all the relevant code? Historically, there are too many win32 API users "clever" enough to exploit the coupling between UI, business logic and old assumptions that don't work anymore in modern platforms.

I don't think it's actually about backwards compatibility, because the logical solution to that would be to provide a unified dialogue with all necessary settings, and keep the old ones for BC. Instead, they've just moved some of the features from the old dialogues into new interfaces, and left others (many of which are vital), so the entire thing is fragmented. It's completely incompetent.
