Not really. Vista was overly ambitious, and because of that, it had had many problems which were later fixed in Win7. Modern audio, networking, display driver model, 64-bit, drive encryption etc have all been released with Vista, and most of that code still runs on Win11. Vista was only immature, nothing was wrong with it otherwise. Win7 is what Vista should have been.
Windows 11, on the other hand, only brings some UI and small performance and security improvements over Win10. It's nowhere close to Vista. Old Microsoft would have called this Win10.11 rather than Win11.
You're missing the infrastructure rebuilding that is taking place to bring all that UWP pluming back into Win32 and COM, without App Identity and sandboxing, so that eventually one day they can drop legacy UWP from Windows, and have Windows Runtime being just another COM based framework.
So they have to undo about 10 years of pushing UWP, back into standard Win32 + COM infrastructure.
