Remember when Windows 10 was meant to be the last edition of Windows ...

It never was. That quote was an offhand comment by a developer evangelist that everyone ran with as the official word from Microsoft

It still is, they just changed the number on a random patch when they cut the actually useful option to put the taskbar on the side of the screen.

I'm glad to see somebody else as salty as I am over them removing that feature for Windows 11, as that immediately killed any enthusiasm I had towards it.

I rock an ultrawide monitor. You know how many needless pixels a bottom task bar takes up on that thing? If I wanted to stick duck tape on a third of my screen I would do that.

So I went and paid for StartAllBack immediately. Because screw that.

Exactly. Even on regular width monitor, you still have so much more horizontal space to spare than vertical, so putting it on the side just makes sense!
How Microsoft don't see that, at least anymore, is astounding to me

It still is. Windows 10 and 11 are built on the same version of Windows NT with different patches.

Windows 11 current release - NT version 10.0.22621.2428

Windows 10 current release - NT version 10.0.19045.3570

Both are Windows NT 10.0.
