Microsoft has essentially forgotten what a desktop GUI is for. It's a program launcher packaged with a set of libraries that make it easy for other programs to do complex things like displaying video in a uniform way, plus some system administration tools. Pack-ins not related to system administration should be limited to very basic software.
There may be something that Microsoft has added to Windows lately that isn't bloat, or evil, or both, but damned if I know what it is.
They haven't forgotten. They don't care.
