Exactly.  Freedom-haters, like -highhorse, just don't "get it".

Re-arrange your cotton, chrisv:  I'm telling Stéphane that there's other
users so it isn't "his way is best" for everyone.  Industry pros make
their UI changes based on objective standards and research data, ...

If so, then, at least on Windows, why is the (often clumsy to use) desktop
constantly churning with each release? Why is the Teams UI so abysmal?
Why is Outlook such a clusterfuck?

Why so cluttered with unnecessary popups?

My corporate (copro-ate?) laptop now shows a cutesy little icon next to
the search pane, changing each day. Teams keeps popping up a box advertising a
"New Feature! Try it!" or "Got it".

And then the Corp lathers on all kinds of stuff to try to be "helpful"
(though that's not really Microsoft's fault).

I would prefer the desktop stay out of my way. That's why my Linux desktop has
no icons or "start" menu (a right-click on the desktop brings up a menu; and
each can be torn off so that it stays on the desktop.)

...which
both you and Stéphane lack when attempting to make your arguments be
convincing:  you're following the path of 'Religious Zealot'.

Dude, you're trying to say that people cannot strongly prefer something not
provided by the vendor?
