I object to your characterization of Windows as "the least reliable OS ever". What Windows is, is popular, and that's for a lot of reasons but one of them is that it is actually quite good at being a desktop PC OS, unlike some other operating systems I could mention. The same things that make it a good desktop (like say, not having to recompile software every two years to get it to run on the latest version) also make it slightly easier to trick users into running things they shouldn't, and of course allows less advanced users to have more control in the first place, which combined with its popularity lead to a large number of infections.
Otherwise I agree with what you're saying, software (and hardware to a certain extent) is far more bloated and complicated than it needs to be.
