I can understand perhaps avoiding rewriting complex applications, but why are core components like the search, taskbar, and the settings app so dog slow? This stuff was new for windows 7 or 8. Still, if I type 'bluetooth' in the search bar it can take 10s to find the settings page by that name. Maybe part of the reason native apps have fallen out of favor lately is that the OS can't even provide an example of a modern performant one.

The taskbar and basic building blocks being slow is just because Microsoft doesn't give a shit anymore (and doesn't have to, given their near-monopoly). There's no good reason something that was fast in Windows 7 on a mid-range ~2009 PC is now slow as an old pig on machines orders of magnitude faster.
