Bugs are not our biggest problem, our biggest problem are deliberate decisions that privilege vendor control, tradition, and ease of implementation instead of good architectural design.
All three major desktop operating systems (Windows, MacOS and Linux distributions †) are so bad that it's infuriating at times. We can't have a single operating system to rely on and say: "This system works well and won't give you unnecessary headaches."
How can we develop good end-user products when the very tools software developers use to create those end-user products are broken?
† The kernel may be decently reliable, but the actual distributions are an ungodly mess.
