I don't wanna defend Microsoft here cause yk fuck them but I'ma guess most people didn't even know the show desktop was there tbh or if they did use it but then again I've never understood why it was there I never use it

Hide desktop is useful if you have many non-minimized windows and you don't want to minimize each one. I can vouch for that button 😎.

Yeah, I hink its super useful too. But i usually use win+d.

Or if you're a psychopath with a desktop full of icons and files. Shudders

To be fair it's not like there's an icon showing what it does. Maybe it should have? I haven't had issues with overcrowded task bars since Windows XP.
