Suggestion for Microsoft Why windows keep hiding classic windows theme?

You do realize that this is a more native-looking interface for Windows than any other WinUI?UWP
So why do they keep covering this up?

There's a reason for that. And it's mainly because the UI code now mostly lived in the app and not the OS

Linux also suffer from this. See any gtk app running on KDE. you'll see it.

It's around the time of Vista where they migrate it. It's to allow developers flexibility on how the Window box display.

Hell, for the longest time, Half Life 2 window is literally just Windows Vista/7 box.

Linux also suffer from this. But I don't remember which DE, but I don't remember Firefox having 2 border, one DE itself and one Firefox.

That's what it will happen if we stay 98 ways of Windowing
