The problem is that the settings app has consistently been a dumbed down, feature-sparse version of what was in the control panel for the bits it has replaced. Tweaks that experienced users have relied on for decades are simply missing in the settings app, forcing them to go back to the control panel
If Microsoft actually re-implemented all the knobs and dials in control panel then I wouldn't be so irritated, but we've been shown for the last several years that they only bother migrating the most commonly used settings.
I bet within a decade they pivot to barely any settings at all, claiming the released experience is the only experience you'll ever need.
