I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

yeah a fresh windows 11 install has like 20 different control panels, all built at different times by different teams using different UI toolkits. It's basically their philosophy to not unify anything but instead just keep bolting new things to different pieces of the OS, no matter how similar

It's because they don't want to break compatibility with existing software. Which I understand, because if they broke old software then people could just migrate to Linux as well
