Win11 taskbar only at the bottom of the screen - it needs to be changed!
Yes, customizability should always be an option for the users.

So far my experience with Win 11 has been fine except for this unfathomable change. I've used a left taskbar for a couple of decades and find it essential for my productivity at work. I have so many things going on at any given time - numerous apps, PuTTY sessions, docs, mail, etc. The left taskbar enabled me to view a list of my open items, with their name, so I could navigate between them easily. Not having this is really a disaster. I used to use DisplayFusion for multi-monitor left-side taskbars until Windows got good at it, but my org no longer allows people to install third party software so I don't have a fallback any longer.
It's hard to comprehend why this capability was removed, and I sure hope they bring it back. There is no good alternative for working with a lot of open items.
