Can you give any example(s) why? I know the interface on 10 on my son's laptop has me lost as a ball in high weeds but I really haven't spent any time trying to decipher it.
Two options for Windows 10 folks who don't want to try and sift the Microsoft's ridiculously fragmented UI to find all the settings.
Spybot Anti-Beacon for a simple tool, not a lot of options, big hammer to shut it all off. From the folks that did Spybot Search & Destroy
O&O ShutUp10 for something with more detailed options and controls.

I'll wait. I'm enjoying windows 7 and won't change for the world. Microsoft will still support it for a few more years. I still think it's the last version M$ hasnt royally ****ed up on...
dont! spyware bull****, etc. dont do it!
Luckily, you can maintain the UI very much like Win7, which should prevent being "lost as a ball in the weeds". Lots of articles and help in keeping it familiar to you as you begin to "ease" into Cortana, Edge, Groove, and other new stuff. Having reluctantly moved from IBM DOS, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 7, and skipped Windows 8, Windows 10 has been the easiest transition to date. Who says you can't teach an old dog (at age 59) new tricks?
I guess the biggest reason for me is I'm a creature of habit and I know how to do what I need to on windows 7. The only way I know how to shut down the computer on windows 10 is to hit control alt delete then it brings up the prompt to shut it down. The pictures and other files for me are easier to find on 7. For me anyways more is less, I like the simplicity of 7. Just little stuff but it's stuff I'm more familiar with on the older version.
You forgot to mention Windows 3.11, Windows Vista, and Microsoft BOB (Google/Wikipedia it).
