I rechecked the windows taskbar stuff and you are right there is no setting for that, the only way to change it would be to chnage the region date format which would change it everywhere not only in the taskbar
I don't really have an issue with choice but people use computers to do specific tasks and what's important are solid defaults with the option to (in a simple manner) change some stuff later.
The ones that fit. I don't really have hugh demands for my socks. And I think that's a good example how regular people think about computers. They buy something and expect it to "just work" and not get in the way. Imagine entering a store asking for socks and instead of "they are over there" they start to ask you so many questions you never thought about and really aren't interested in. I don't want to answer questions about which yarn I like, and if I want different socks for left and right or the same ones. The exact ratio between length and width, etc. I don't care. Most people don't. Just give me "the black ones".
That doesn't mean there should only be one color and type of socks. If you are a sock enthusiast go for it. But that's exactly what happens with most Linux distros when you install them. Some ugly terminal user interface ask you about which package managers, desktop environments, while switching back and forth between fast running console log output and ugly TUI questions and everybody watching thinks you sre trying to enter the matrix.
Most people don't care. Just give me the stuff that work in 95% of the cases and has the best support or most stable, or whatever, so basically "black socks".
