To me, this is the main problem. Most software now has so many features that the owning company can't possibly keep eyes on it all anymore, or just chooses not to as a cost cutting measure.
Simple example that has hit me lately: simplified view in Chrome on Android does not work anymore. It just shows a loading spinner forever. I would bet money Google has no idea or just doesn't care (surely they collection exception metrics?). I hit stuff like this all the time now. I just fully expect say 10-20% of features in a modern app to just flat out not work.
