But I've now been using Win10's own start menu and find it isn't that
bad. Sure it's nowhere near 7's but if you clean off the crap and
organize your stuff in nice groups and widen the menu so you can get
more icons, it's not bad, even usable. I mean how many programs does
the average non-power user use?

Why do we even need Classic Shell anymore?

I also only recently decided to ditch Classic Shell and WinAero in order to
learn how to wrestle Windows 10 native menus into doing what I want them to
do.

For example, here's my (currently unfinished) Windows 10 Start Menu:

It has the exact same hierarchy as my (just as unfinished) Windows 10
Cascade Menu - which works exactly as the Windows XP Cascade Menu worked:

Notice there is absolutely no meaningful difference between the setup and
operation of the native Windows 10 cascade menu from the native Windows XP
cascade menu.

Given that there is no difference, and assuming all we want from the
Classic Shell software is that Cascade Menu, why bother with Classic Shell?
