One of the reasons users don't care is that they have no expectations of quality. It's painful to watch non-tech people use software written by incompetent developers, like Teams. You'd literally see someone type, then Teams UI would hand. They would pause typing and patiently stare, hands on keyboard. UI would unfreeze 3 seconds later, they'd keep typing. To me this is insane, but people are used to it / have been trained to expect it and consider it normal, apparently. Just like (a somewhat more reasonable) expectation that things need to be restarted in an escalating sequence if something is not working. If I could go back in time and make one change to the history of computing, I'd add code to every consumer-facing GUI OS that would kill-dash-nine any application blocking UI thread for more than say 200ms. And somehow make it illegal to override for any consumer software, or if I were God make it so any developer trying to override it to let their software be slow gets a brain aneurysm rendering them (even more) incapable of writing software and has to find work digging ditches.
