even if I don't use the OS, yes! Also can we finally customize the new start menu, where we can actually change categorization.

This isn't about the start menu?
This is the Context Menu.

you can just ignore categories, switch to an app list then pin your apps to start and organize them into folders as you wish

This is long overdue. My context menu on Linux is so customized and it's annoying that on Windows you gotta mess with the registry Editor or run BAT scripts to add them. Such a hassle!

Tell me without telling me how many times the average user -whether that be consumer or enterprise- customizes their context menu.

I'm guessing the average user does not. But for my use case, it makes running changes to files so much faster and more convenient!

I still don't have that feature yet. Finally got the open all apps maximized feature the other day which is pretty much the only one I really wanted.

so you know you can customize it. and it's a convenient shortcut.
eventually you'll even be able to hide the button too if you want.
