So, to cater to the maximum number of users at once, Microsoft applied a data-driven approach to find out which features to add now, which features to add later, and which to completely avoid.

I call bullshit, because nobody uses the "modern" devices and printers interface in windows 10, because it fucking sucks. Everyone goes to the control panel instead. In windows 11, you have to use the "modern" interface, and it drives me crazy, especially because the old, fully functional, and reliable one is still in the OS, but Microsoft decided to hide it/make it a PITA to get to.

for power users? absolutely. but nobody who isn't tech savvy even knows what control panel is anymore.

Over the years I came to realize that tech savvy when it came to windows doesn't actually mean anything. It just means you are able to fight through the bullshit and get things done with what you have.
