No. Windows has these “issues” if you use a diverse-enough set of apps, and there are quite-a-few things in won’t let you tweak without paid or uNtRuSteD apps that Linux will. The difference is that Linux includes more diverse apps by default, and doesn’t hide them away very well.

Personally, I love a bit of inconsistency, and Windows resides on my laptop because I’m more concerned with getting Linux onto my phone these days.
