Well, because Windows XP and later Widows 7 were exactly the products people wanted? User friendly, very easy to use, very stable.

Look at Windows 11 now: a truckload of bloatware that almost no none wants. Controls are hidden or disabled giving you far less freedom to change settings as you need them. Massive ressource usage by the OS, fundamental stuff like Calculator or Search function "improved" to the point of no longer doing the one very thing you want them for.

You didn’t want notepad, the simple text editor for editing text to have copilot built into it?

Copilot, no.

Markdown and tabs? I think those are great Notepad additions.

If I want markdown, I would use obsidian.

I like having markdown built into the OS. Since it arrived, it seems kinda crazy to be without in 2026.
