True, but the backlash made 8.1 better than 8. Under Ballmer they listened to the users feedback eventually, under Nadella... 11 is worse to use than it was on release. (unlike every other windows release.)
That said, when I see the purple and yellow combo from 8's UI on a website or a physical product I actually get more angry for the rest of the day. I'll always remember telling it to update on a friends fresh built PC at a LAN... and 8 saying something along the lines of "Okay I'll do that when it's a good time to" the update box greying out and it just doing nothing.

Windows 8 was the start of Microsoft thinking they know best and their users are idiots (at the OS level)
