I think I've seen the apple news widget helpfully installed on my iPad before. The candy crush thing is true, but I haven't really noticed it until I just checked.

The pinned apps thing is sorta annoying but generally I just hit windows + type whatever I'm looking for. Like spotlight on mac.

You are discountingthe effect that the plebs still using Windows will click on Candy Crush and get addicted.

It may hook only 7 people out of 100, but it’s just toxic.
