Preach. Make an actual improved control panel, settings is garbage. It's not just scattering things around it really doesn't include a ton of necessary settings.
Right, the amount of settings you can't actually change in settings and instead open up a legacy UI modal to change a specific thing is a demonstration that it's very much lipstick on a pig rather than a core overhaul. There's so much baggage in keeping Windows backwards compatible for enterprise that I'm not really sure they can get to a point of having a new control panel where everything is organized into a better UI without cutting some of that baggage and doing major refactors, which will break compatibility, and they make the most money from widespread enterprise licenses across massive private and public organizations, not from windows home licenses included with new computers
