2016 isn't that long ago, and that's just one that was badly-judged enough to have made the news:

The overall feeling inside MS at the time was "wow, that was stupid, hasn't that team being paying attention to how the industry has been changing?" An even more formal policy change was then sent out, reminding people of dumb stuff they aren't supposed to do.
