Windows 10: Why was the ability to move the task bar taken away with Windows 11?

Problems like this are the very reason I waited so long to accept the Windows 11 upgrade. It's actually a downgrade when functionality it removed. There was nothing wrong with Windows 10 and the only reason I went to Windows 11 is because support for 10 is going away.

Windows 11 task bar

Why would Microsoft take the ability to move the task bar from the bottom of the screen to either side or the top away and make you have to use the registry editor to do this action that was a two-step point and click in Windows 10. We are not all geeks and may finally finding the reason to move to an apple product.

 

Windows 10 Defender - How to make it default to task bar?
