Windows seems to be slowly succumbing to touch-screen-itis, where the interface is designed for touching first. Dragging on a touch screen can be kind of janky at the best of times so I'm not surprised they didn't bother making this interaction work in Windows 11.

this is a huge issue for me as well, really dumb
