You forgot: moved the most clicked button away from the easiest place to click it.

The Windows button is useless if you use the Windows key

It is, but it was also easy to click previously. By being in the bottom left you could just flick your mouse to the corner and not have to aim for a little icon. Now you can't do that. The position will also change as more icons are added which will make for bad UX as well.

Then move it to the bottom left.

You have obviously never used an ultrawide monitor. I think the positioning is an _excellent_ idea.

Besides, most people can easily discover that it's a simple checkbox in settings.

I think I like the centering, but I also would like to keep the Windows button on the edge...
