The entire point of the “new” Settings app is to be dumbed down. To include all the settings from the control panel would go against the entire point of the Settings app.
Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon

If they actually move all the settings over to the “new” settings app (it’s actually 12 years old now): good. It’s an absolute joke that there are multiple settings apps in windows, with design inconsistency across them, and it being a crapshoot whether the screen you look at will support dark mode or not.
If they don’t move all the settings over: bad. Yeah they’re usually niche, but some of those options are needed.
Since this is Microsoft we’re talking about, it’s probably going to be the latter, unfortunately.

If we’re talking about the latest version of Windows 11, I would say it’s dumbed down, but everything I personally need is still there.

It truly made no sense to me when they started the process of migrating stuff from control panel to the “new” Metro-style Settings, then just kind of… gave up and left everything as a spread-out mess. I can’t believe they’ve left it this long to address, it’s a truly awful user experience.
