Finally, any change to Windows 10 design will require extensive testing and I didn't have any Windows10 system so would have to rely on others and it would have been hard to replicate and fix if reported by others.

No issue was raised because no one knew any better. Now we know.
I realise that it is a little more work for you but I think it is the right thing to do and will make the code easier to maintain and test, not harder.
