Really? Where did you hear that? Conventional wisdom is based on a post by an MS employee years ago that described the performance issues as architectural.
MS does have something called "dev drive" in Win11. Dev Drive is what ReFS turned into and is an entirely different filesystem that isn't NTFS, which is better optimized for UNIX-style access patterns. The idea is that core Windows remains slow, but developers (the only people who care about file IO performance apparently) can format another partition and store their source/builds there.
