I hated the tabs already. When I open Notepad I expect a clean slate.

That's the real issue. Tabs, fine. Remembering tabs, no.

    GP is saying that they don't want that, not that it doesn't work.

    It does by default. It shouldn't.

  You can disable it. Settings > When Notepad starts > Start new session and discard unsaved changes

    Oh good. More things I have to configure out of box.

    Oh, great, they added a "Users Resistance is invalid" button - so everyone can go along with it, until they remove it in 2 updates and then, well you had a choice and the choice was to swallow whatever you get served.

    Wow. I'd totally missed the Settings screen. Tiny little gear icon on the right... (And cute: it spins when I click it. Blech.)

I thought the whole point of the Windows taskbar was to give you tabs for all your windows? Why did they feel the need to add tabs again!

  these days, if a software doesn't use the design language of a browser, users think it's old and busted

  The default Windows taskbar doesn't haven't given you tabs for a very long time, has been mostly unusable if you use it as tabs recently, and only has 1 level of tabs, while keeping tabs inside the application gives you another. That said, I'm not sure notepad benefits from it.

  if we were still allowed to have a vertical taksbar we could have enough tabs indeed

  To answer seriously, because workflow is a tree. And the outer levels need task-specificity. Browser tabs need different display options and available actions from text editor tabs, etc. A generic taskbar (Windows one included) is only passable for the root level of switching contexts (on *nix there's also couple levels below that: virtual consoles and virtual desktops of the DE).
