Suggestion: Review app navigation menu structure
The current navigation menu includes a section labeled "Controls", but the items listed under it extend beyond traditional UI controls and include broader categories.
(See #2039 for context.)

One option is to make it closer to the menu structure on the docs.
So basically you have "motion" and "styles" which are not controls. And "windowing" is something else too. Even though XAML TitleBar is a control.
Sure, let's move those out from under the header "controls" and you're done. Bada-bing bada-boom.
