There's an optional update to download and install ahead of patch Tuesday:

Windows 10 KB5004296 (21H1, 20H2) released with performance fixes (windowslatest.com)
I installed it and it made no difference to the low FPS as a result of low GPU usage in Metro EE when looking in certain directions in Taiga and Sam's Story, also no difference to the stuttering in Assassin's Creed Valhalla that was introduced with a recent patch. However, these are probably game or driver issues.

Windows 11 is as much as new version as 7 was, which was a glorified Vista SP3 with a new UI (and yet is considered to be the best version of Windows ever by many). Every consumer version of Windows since the DOS to NT switchover has just built on the previous one. Some changes bigger than others (like the switch from XDDM to WDDM), but you only need to open the Device Manager, for example, to be presented with something that hasn't changed in a couple of decades. Hell, dig deep enough and there's still stuff dating back to Windows 3.1 hiding away.

Windows is a mess under the hood, and it's never going to change unless there's a clean break with (native) Win32 support.
From a UI pov yes however the underlying code there are many many many changes from xp onwards to many for me to even care to list. But from 7 to 10 not so much and 10 to 11 again not so much.
