The answer is very simple - you're just not a power user. You probably use email and a bunch of other specific apps and don't spend a significant amount of time in the OS (and configuring it).
That's not a bad thing. It's just how you use it for your workflow.
But please understand that power users work with the OS differently.

- antisthenes 3y ago> I get your point, but it's going to be impossible to change anything and maintain every single person's workflow: A configurable OS is harder and more expensive to maintain for MS and developers, so the trend is to reduce it in order to fit the 90% of the use cases and throw the 10% (arbitrary numbers) of workflows out. Can't really blame them, but just so people understand the frustrations of others.
