Is there a native way to make the Windows 11 Start menu resemble the pathetic image below, i.e., without using a third-party utility:

I believe the answer is 'no' but I wanted to check with you folks first.

If the answer is 'no' and we are approaching two years since the introduction of Windows 11, would it be a safe presumption that tone-deaf Microsoft is going to leave the Start menu as it is?

Your assumption is correct..., No!
The native W11 Menu is a terrible design with even worse functionality! 🤷‍♂️
