Yet a million feedbacks go unanswered...
I'm getting the "old Microsoft feeling again" i.e. prescriptive features rather than what the end user wants.
Edit: please back your down votes with some kind of discussion.

Why? What are some specific examples you see?
Personally, I think they got slapped so hard by Windows 8 that I expect Windows 10 to be pretty great. They had me at "console window" (though likely I'll still be using ConEmu).
But you didn't provide yours? Three (two, really) lines.
The first one is .. vague/useless/devoid of content.
The second is a general stab at Microsoft for falling back into old habits of 'knowing it better' (nevermind that this is something I regularly read about Apple or the Gnome project guys..), without any details.
The third line is only added as an edit after people expressed that your comment lacks content, and is asking down-voters for explanations.
Again: You didn't explain your point. I can summarize that post as
sigh M$ suxxorz
and while that might be even more useless/use offensive language for hyperbole, it contains all the facts and pieces of information that you listed in your post.
So what is the real problem? Maybe you have a great point. What isn't answered? What features do you think are useless? What features do you think/know/believe are wanted by users?
Hard to criticize a company for not including features in software they haven't put out yet.
I'm curious what your point is. Do you have any examples of things they are ignoring?
This change is good for both Microsoft and its' users since it reduces bandwidth used on both ends, and and could be especially useful in multiple-computer households. It probably comes specifically from the Windows Update team, where they are working on that product alone, and as such the fact that they weren't (for example) fixing some user interface glitch in the new start menu is quite unsurprising.
This isn't a prescriptive feature, it's an implementation detail on how patches are downloaded.
