It's hard to sell something that no one wants or needs, so the sales pitches become progressively stranger and more desperate. IMHO, from a consumer POV, Win 95 and Win 7 are the high points in Microsoft's OS release history. Win 8 was horrendously bad. Win 10 is marginally worse than Win 7. My 2021 Win 10 laptop keeps trying to convince me to upgrade to Win 11, although even a quick googling indicates that it is almost sure to slow down my AMD-based machine. I don't want Win 11.
