You already know the answer to all of these questions, stop posturing. Yes, Microsoft kept old versions of IE and Control Panel for compatibility - but you don't get to access them unless you really want to.

As for full screen browser, touch-optimised IE was in Windows 8. It is not in Windows 10. Your rant is 2 years out of date.

> Microsoft kept... Control Panel for compatibility

Around half settings that the internets tell me to tweak these days are on [the old] Control Panel. Another half is in the registry or group policy or some "Run..." utility and never the new one.

That one is correct, I can never find the thing when it's needed again.
