The reason I hate this so much in Windows is that it assigns the username and home folder from the Microsoft account email. So, my home directory was windo because those are the first 5 letters of the email address I'd used for my Microsoft account. What the hell is that?!
Somewhat tangential, but this still peeves me the most. I imagine Microsoft assumes the average user will never even know what a user directory is, much less see its name. But man, is it too much to ask to see my real name reflected in my files?
Wild read as someone who has preferred Linux (and CLIs) for over a decade, hates Windows (but still uses it a lot because of games) and finds the mac to be 90% of a good replacement.
I'm not saying Windows is unusable, but everything is so much more annoying if you live in a shell - and don't only have your code on WSL2, but just want zsh or bash for your whole home folder.
