No, they are (in theory) aimed at
normal people, following the massive success of smartphone UIs.
That said, it is also true that there's a lot of typical middle-manager meddling and adding/removing stuff at whim causes mass confusion amongst users. Tbh it doesn't really bother me because I've always treated Windows as a shell only and only used maybe Calculator & Paint from its native apps, everything else being handled by a handful of 3rd party ones (Total Commander & simplewall being generally in charge). I must say it's been pretty good re stability, speed and ease of use doing it this way. The only problem is telemetry, which is why I block everything going out.
With Win 11 requiring a MS account we might be entering a new obnoxious and unacceptable phase though.
