Splitting the services up, solves one of the most irritating things about older windows releases. That is the problem that some service running in svchost is hogging CPU/RAM, or just keeping the machine from going into suspend, or reboot. And its difficult to figure out which one short of running process explorer or a debugger of some form against it. In the reboot case, there is another registry tweak which shows the services that are taking a long time to start or shutdown, but again its not as easy as it should be.
But really microsoft (and android too), need to start clamping down on background tasks which in the case of windows just exist to collect telemetry and provide popups. Just about the first thing I do when I get on family members/etc PC's is go into the service control manager and disable 1/2 of the running services, which exist to handle cases that aren't appropriate. Usually just by setting their startup type to manual, but sometimes in the case of things like the google "update service" (which is actually more like spyware) by setting it actually to disabled (and a few other things to keep it from running, because it likes to re-enable itself).
Like an android permission setting, there should be a "This program wants to install a background task to perform $THING" do you want to allow this?
The old UWP "sandboxed" app lifecycle model had permission/capability settings for background tasks and was good for users. Developers of course hated programming against it.
