I still constantly bitch about not being able to pin the taskbar to the side of the screen in windows 11.
There will always be some static-friction to UI changes, even if it's a change that makes the UI more accessible overall. Everytime you alter your UI you're taxing your users as it will take them some time to adapt to the new system. You should minimize how often you do this for that reason. Additionally, sometimes you may be unaware of an unintentional feature users appreciate that you're depreciating.
I dislike your comment because it's making a lot of sweeping generalizations (like that the UI changes are actually good) and ignoring the fact that users may have legitimate complaints.
