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

Deleted That's a good idea, unfortunately the topic is closed already by the "Hey! I have the final word around here" Community Manager.

From the Microsoft side of things any kind of official answer to this kind of thing would be entwined in all sorts of red-tape. There would have to be meetings, feasibility analysis, user impact studies, cost projections et ad infinitum before any kind of official word. They certainly wouldn't want individual employees weighing into the discussions and potentially giving erroneous expectations to users. I'm sure there are plenty of MS devs, project managers etc.. already aware that the removal of this feature has caused a lot of user anger. and it could be that this has already been put onto the table and rejected. If that were the case it's almost certain that there would be no public disclosure of that decision. The only way we would be told about it is if they decided to go ahead and implement it.

This kind of user support structure is now very common for a lot of corporations. It gives them an easy direction to point people without having to do much themselves in dealing with user questions/requests/enquiries and at the same time deliberately distance themselves from any kind of official participation, saying "It's not an officially supported platform". Very convenient method to essentially automate customer support. For them to do what you are suggesting would be negating the purpose and usefulness of this place to them.
