A lot of things about humans is based on desire, not on logical conclusion or requirement. Humans do things because they want to, not because they need to or it

  So taking this whole comment chain into consideration, why are Windows 11 and Teams going out of their way to be awful to use? We agree that the Free Market(tm) incentives are to maximise desire even at an up-front loss (Fireworks, Lighting the bridge) but the parent said that it's free market economics that prevent Teams and Windows from being desirable to use. Is someone wrong or am I misunderstanding something? Is there more profit in awful things? Why does the Harbour bridge have lights then?

    Why are we even trying to equate the 2 things? The harbor bridge has a very pleasant look and people want to accentuate that, so they have decided to put lights on it so that it can be enjoyed at night. There is a very pleasing affect from things being lit at night. Why why why is this hard/difficult to grasp? That is so so so different from a group of engineers building a product and totally not grasping that while it technically works, it is not pleasant for the end users. It takes a certain level of asshattery to assume that the devs are going out of their way to make it this way.
