What about me? I don't care about backwards compatibility - but I don't want "UWP" because it's impossible to make great apps following the guidelines.

Sounds like you might want to look into MacOS. Or at least might've wanted before Big Sur, dunno about now.
Yeah, macOS jumping on the "huge UI elements with tons of empty space" bandwagon was the proverbial straw for me that moved my beloved MBP from daily workhorse to random idle browsing machine.
I'd say it's still not as bad as Windows, in that at least it's not pure white that burns your eyes, but I still hate how half of my laptop screen is taken up by useless UI elements.
Is this a thing with Big Sur? I haven't moved to it yet, but reading here [1] it doesn't seem like bad changes?

;) Sadly I think this is the group Microsoft is least likely to attempt to cater towards.
I'm on the same boat, and would like to see proper design instead of supporting 200-years-old programs. But apparently we are minority and not the best interest of Microsoft. (Which is okay, BTW)
UNIX is older than Windows, and most people still expect to run their UNIX CLI applications on APIs that exist since UNIX V6.
