Hm. Are you sure? Their description of the different behaviour of the top and bottom rows doesn't sound possible, so I assumed their taskbar was a third party one or used third party extension that adds features.
The Windows 11 Taskbar sounds pretty bad from your description.

Yes, this is exactly what all the complaints are about in this thread: all of the customization supported by the Taskbar since Windows 95 has disappeared in Windows 11 Insider Builds. It only supports the bottom of the screen. It no longer supports drag and drop (what the article here is specifically complaining about). It doesn't support "Quick Launch" and most other "additional toolbars". (That admittedly haven't been well supported since XP anyway, but that's not particularly here nor there.) It sounds like a complete rewrite where they didn't bother to implement even a third of the old features.
Yes I changed the default. "Use small taskbar buttons", "Never combine taskbar buttons", To get the second small row on top I use the "toolbar" function pointed to QuickLaunch folder full of shortcuts.
I do use a third party program (Open Shell Menu) to replace the Windows start menu with the one from Win 7.
