This page isn't new enough to include more recent failures.
One of my least favourite was when it was not possible to configure the screensaver timeout to never turn off the display. IIRC you had a choice of several fixed times, from 5 minutes to 4 hours, but no "Never" option.
Not useful for systems which display information and are infrequently interacted with. That use case was completely ignored, and for no good reason.
