How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?

The November 2023 update added “never combined” mode on the taskbar for Windows 11. To find this feature, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors. Set Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels to Never. It also added a separate setting for turning this feature on for other taskbars when you use multiple monitors.

If I wanted to use MacOS I'd buy a mac. The taskbar is now no longer a taskbar but a plain and simple dock. The taskbar has been the defining feature of Windows for the past 25 years, Microsoft, why are you so intent on removing a beloved feature? There's absolutely no excuse. Your UI design department has been an abject embarrassment since Windows 8 and yet you keep hiring inexperienced people to design a fundamental feature used by billions of people. Stop.
