While I would like it to be different M$ is far from destroyed. Quite the opposite from my POV it looks far stronger than 10-20 years ago.
The reality is that most users and consumers don’t care about quality, accuracy or functionality at all.

This is just how Microsoft operates. They have operated like this for decades. “Immediately” is quite the exaggeration.

Microsoft does not care about consumer branding because their enterprise branding game is A1.

.... immediately ? MS has been doing it for decades
Crazy how if they had waited about 2-3 years, and kept windows AI-free and released it today using the latest models, it would absolutely be well received (see: muse, new siri)
Instead their incompetent managers were chasing promotions and pushed a technology which was not ready yet
