I’m not sure what you mean, the start button on the taskbar? I’m pretty sure it’s always been in exactly the same place and all that has changed is whether it literally says start or not, and what glyph it uses to represent it?
W11 also has an annoying snap behavior between monitors, which may have led to that decision. My left monitor is 720p and my main is 4K. On W10, I kept the monitors aligned at the top and it made it really easy to land on the bottom left corner of the main screen. Now it jumps up to the left monitor doing the same thing.
Win8 was a case of “dress not for the job you’ve got, but the job you want”… Luckily Windows 8 just wanted to be a handheld OS and not an AI interface like win11.
Microsoft in 1995: Let’s put the start button at the lower left. So people can always find it.
Microsoft in 2012: Start button is gone, but you can still click the lower left, like you have been for 17 years.
Microsoft in 2013: Fine have your button back since everyone is so used to clicking on it.
Microsoft in 2021: Let’s make the start button move around every time you open and close anything.
Meanwhile on KDE
Me: I wanna edit my taskbar and desktop
KDE: ok bro just right click and enter edit mode
And do anything you can possibly imagine with to a super granular level. I love me some KDE

W11 by default centers all taskbar icons, including the start menu. You can change it thank goodness but the default is really dumb.
