I think the biggest problem is that, since 8, Windows has basically been trying to be two separate OSes, with two entirely different use paradigms, and it doesn’t work. And having multiple control panels, configs, etc. makes things messy and confusing.
Yeah, and that it actually is two very different operating systems who sort of “merged” into one some 20 odd years ago, even if the base was NT and not 98/ME. They have tried to keep both paradigms alive since then, so it’s a long standing MS tradition.

A lot of this has to do with the dedication to legacy support that created these two design paradigms.
