Stepping on a political soapbox, what I think is happening is a dumbing
down of the user who doesn't even REALIZE what a good menu SHOULD look
like, such that we're few and far between who understand what a menu should
do.

You'll note, by the way, that I'm a (self-assessed!) "pro" when it comes to
app launching menus, where I pioneered (as far as I am aware among all my
associates) an organization of hierarchical menus when they first came out.

On Android, you'll note that I maintain a well-defined SINGLE SCREEN
hierarchy:

Where on iOS it's still SINGLE SCREEN but it isn't as well built (simply
because iOS is primitive compared to Android in that regard).

The point is that I was HOPING that Window10 start menu had the basic
functionality that we had since Windows XP days which is a simple
hierarchical menu that handled the typical hierarchy of computers.

This Win10 start menu, with respect to hierarchy, is almost no better than
a mobile-device menu. Sigh.

It all started with Windows 8 when MS decided that a desktop pc needed
to look like a mobile device.
