Does that somehow change prioritization? If anything, it would lower the priority because there's a workaround people can use.

If it was as large of a problem as you claim, with as wide an impacted userbase, it would have already been fixed. Yet here we are.

All you've proven is that there is a vocal minority. Which I already said.

At the scale of Microsoft and Windows (1.4 billion active users), for every person complaining about a specific problem, there are literally millions of users who aren't. Just because it is a problem for you does not mean it's automatically a big enough problem to address. If it isn't going to actively lose users (which it clearly isn't, considering people wrote apps to stay on Windows and have this behavior), then it isn't worth it.

> Can you also have an educated deliberation about the calculations justified the removal of this feature existed before? ;)

I'm not a seer, but it's plainly obvious from a software prioritization standpoint. The taskbar was rewritten and the feature was not justified as being important enough to keep. Wow, such deep, so insight.

Until this happens:

Windows 11 update breaks PCs that dare sport a custom UI https://www.theregister.com/2023/03/01/microsoft_windows_11_... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34999885

Things break, the app developers fix it, and then they work again. I don't think there's an expectation anywhere that third party apps will work forever, from the standpoint of anyone involved.

But a viable workaround for users even if it isn't first party will change prioritization when looking at a feature.
