I use the phone integration almost every day. I use tabs in File Explorer every time I use it. Mine is quick, not sure why yours is not.

I'll repeat myself. You are little the first person I've heard to mention phone integration in Windows, despite the fact that it's been in there since 8. Literally no one else gives a fuck about it. I'm sure you'll be the last person I'll hear mention it as a feature as well.

Tabs in file explorer may be a slight "benefit", but it doesn't excuse the horrible optimization and flakyness it has from being remade as a glorified web app. The performance is absolute dogshit, and the resource usage just to view your file structure is insultingly high.

Win11 is by far the dominant desktop operating system at over 70%.

Actually, Windows overall is 71% of the market, and 30% of that is Windows 10, despite it being unsupported for nearly a year now. So windows 10 is STILL 21% of the total desktop/laptop market, and Windows 11 comes in at 50%. Here is the best way I can represent how fucking BAD windows 11 is. It's the only OS new OS that Microsoft released that had a reduction in adoption rates. In July of 25, people literally uninstalled 11 and went back to 10.

11 is objectively shit. You might be able to argue that it is better than some other shit version of Windows (8, Vista, 2000) but to argue that it is better than 10 by a wide margin is pure fucking insanity, and clear signs of stokholm syndrome as a platform.

Remember the pushback on Win 10 from Win7

Yeah, you know what I don't remember... Pushback on 10 from 8 users, because 10 was objectively better.

I will repeat myself

No need. Everything you've said has been completr junk. I'll just have to copy paste my comment to save time.
