I don't know why I even bother opening the settings app

I agree.

We're both going to get downvoted but the settings app has a much better UI than control panel full stop. The problem is the years of development that have gone into it only for the settings app to redirect to the control panel anyway for 50% of the things you want to do because they still haven't been bothered to actually integrate everything directly into the app.

If you could actually do everything in the settings app that you could do in the control panel after 3 versions of windows I don't think it would be so universally disliked.

Isn't this what the whole post is about? Not having all the settings / info in the new settings?

This was my biggest gripe with the settings app when I still used Windows

I use linux now, and for someone like me who likes to tinker and script, it has been amazing

It's the same as M365, and they're always changing where things are located and renaming things. So stupid.

win11 settings app can do a lot on it's own, most network settings can now be configured there (except if you need to configure some obscure protocol or sth) DHCP, DNS, static/dynamic ipv4/ipv6 options, DoH both per-adapter and per-network are there
