Unless you are writing software only for yourself, you are not judge – Windows 10 customers do seem to like tiles, according to what they say in forums.
Whether or not we like this or that on a personal level, good business is to deliver what customers expect.
I have plenty Win10 customers ( not for my software but in my business ) and many do not like the tiles. So me am judge! 
As long as there is a shortcut, a tile can be created if desired. That is the way I like it myself. Menu items for most things, small sized tiles for groups of apps used most often, but not often enough to be pinned on the taskbar.
This is what I like. The choice to have it my way, not the way the developer likes it. That is also how I develop my applications. The end user rules, and there is not just one kind of end user on Windows.
You conduct your business the way you want 
Customer who don’t buy very seldom tell you why.
The thing is, new customers tend to buy more software. New users happen to be under Windows 10. If they are familiar with tiles, why not provide them ?

Because if they don’t like tiles, you’ll just hack them off - "Why did this blasted developer give me a friggin’ tile?? "
Easy enough to make a tile if you really want one.
Whatever. My grand mother told me how the maid back in early 20th Century was afraid of the telephone. Some people hate anything new 
it is not a question of being afraid of it, it is about just giving people choices. I use tiles. I am not afraid of them. I just don’t like being told how to do it and when to do it and how exactly to do it. Windows users are funny that way.
Think Windows 8 - shiny new but no-one wanted that crud.
I am sorry, you are perfect.
Well, I used to be conceited but now I’m perfect.
