Rough-edges in the UI/UX never get fixed between major-releases (or ever, really) because of the risk of breaking third-party software using UI automation techniques to perform some workflow. The XKCD strip is real: https://xkcd.com/1172/ https://xkcd.com/1172/
Speaking as a former MSFTie, my experience is that some orgs (like OSG: Windows) are more conservative with UI/UX changes (between major releases, at least) compared to others (like DevDiv: Visual Studio) and it's motivated by avoiding risk: i.e. "if it ain't broken, don't fix it, even if it is currently uglier than a mid-2000s KDE desktop".
