It’s a double edged sword. DO we want Android to be more like Windows? That’s the only way you won’t have OEMs making their own unique hierarchy of menus in settings. It’s all a part of a “familiarity” strategy. Get someone used to the way one phone is organized, then they will complain that another phone isn’t “intuitive”. Either we teach people to lean on search, or we ask for Google to take over more of the “unification” of Android.
If settings organization made any sense, the (far from perfect) search wouldn’t be necessary.
Hell, even top-level settings aren’t sortable, and whatever order they’re in makes sense only to the person who ordered it that way.
