TL;DR - It's being ~~replaced~~ renamed to "Settings"
But not really. The Settings menu has never been as useful as Control Panel and there's still a ton of functionality that can only be accessed from the Control Panel. This and many other moves by MS recently are why Windows 10 is the last version of Windows I'll be using. With the work Valve has done to support SteamDeck I can finally go 100% Linux.
TLDR, the settings app does not fully incorporate all the minutia of the control panel and power users are naturally going to be upset about the change assuming they stick around that long.
Too many specialized companies still make Windows-only software, e.g. chip vendors.
100% true.
Why put up with their abuse?
Each one has different specialized components that aren't at full parity with their competitors, but that doesn't even matter since it's the case with literally all of them.
