I think there's a unique element to Windows with it's attempt to be extremely backwards compatible. This can be a tremendous boon when, say, running older software targeting a previous OS, but introduces vulnerabilities since your dependency tree has such deep roots. It's definitely a good target because god knows how many banks/hospitals/etc are running windows and have critical business data in Excel sheets or Power BI or whatever, but it doesn't help that Windows itself is constructed of layers and layers of older code that can't be sacrificed without wrecking some client workflow. I mean that screenshot of 10 different design styles in Windows 11 kinda goes to show how much of it is just ported over kinda arbitrarily.
