I am not talking about these people. They are not bothered or affected by UX microoptinizations of having infinite speed access areas.

Judging by how my original comment is downvoted, I for sure hit something in those who are bothered and who for some unknown for me reason are still using mouse to open Start menu, so it is important for them to have it on the left.

It is literally the same as with pineapple pizza. Internet told them to hate it, so they do, lol.

Although corners have infinite access, I doubt anyone is using mouse anymore to open start menu

Current fastest pipeline is Press Win button - start typing what you need

And it is convenient for eyes when menu is in the center.

Can you pretty please think in the opposite direction and come up to a different conclusion?

It doesn’t fit our desires. We want teeth brushing to be gay.
