> When I see stories like this, I think about what it must be like to be an engineer on the windows team In some cases, you find it highly objectionable, but because large corporate entities are authoritarian in nature and you don't want to risk getting fired, you complain but ultimately get the job done anyways. You don't get over it and keep it in a long list of things you find questionable before you decide it's time to change teams or companies. The "PM" in this equation likely feels the same as you, because no single PM at a large company like this has the authority to make decisions like this nor tell their dev team what to do (it's an influence role, not an authority role - authority is for folks with bigger paychecks). Or you get paid and know about a more complicated/nuanced take that only people on the inside know about, so you do the work and move on because you probably don't care that much.
