The days when every new Windows feature came with a snazzy UI to configure it are long gone.

Realistically, Server 2012R2 was the last release that had full parity between features and matching configuration 'screens'.

Since that time (so: Server 2016, 2019 and 2022, and to a lesser extent the consumer SKUs), configuring new features has required PowerShell and/or WMI. This trend is unlikely to reverse anytime soon. Mostly because features are increasingly complicated.

With Windows 10 and, especially, 11, the GUI parts of the configuration have been redone on a "whatever looks good and is usable for 80% of non-advanced users" basis.

That this now requires "web" technologies is disappointing, but unsurprising. There just isn't a good "native GUI" story right now: not in the open source world, but especially not with Windows or macOS.
