The thing I keep coming back to is - does it matter?
Really does it matter if a company produces something that breaks constantly or gets worse or slower.(See github) Megacorps have a wide moat and have forced out all competition or they just buy them with low interest loans.
The quality of products keeps getting worse and we can do nothing but live with it. So if that's the state of the world, why wouldn't you just push as many "features" as fast as possible. More is rewarded. Less is punished. Quality does not matter.
"or they just buy them with low interest loans." lmao
Probably, at some point.
People used to say "So Windows is bad, but does it matter?" And it seems that this does matter, so much that Microsoft (appears to) want to improve Windows' user experience.
