We need a third option in the malice/incompetence spectrum: active neglect. It's the safest way for big organisations to push users off of platforms they don't like. A combination of one or more of the following is going to ensure that the platform support is always wonky:
- Under-fund the testing. This can backfire if whistle-blowers point out the change.
- Assign bad apples to the platform. This can't really backfire, because of the woke "everyone's equally good at everything" thing.
- Keep moving the target, similar to the "extend" part of embrace-extend-extinguish. "Of course we can't support legacy platforms like Firefox, because they don't support this incredibly niche 3D tile caching optimisation flag, which only Teams and two other products on the globe use."
