There is no reason for both of them to be problems.
You mean like how when you go looking for Windows Phone the salesman almost always pushes you hard towards other phones? There are too many instances of this to ignore.
Meanwhile, in multiple third party independent surveys, Windows Phone continues to do well:

For years we have heard the talk-ers proclaim how the .NET stack doesn't scale is too expensive for a startup. Meanwhile the do-ers built Stackoverflow and it has none of the scaling problems that sites built on other tools like Reddit have.
The perception problem is real and for you to totally ignore it shows your own biases.
- latch 15y agoWindows Phone isn't selling because it came out 4 years after the iPhone. It's an absolutely failure at the leadership level. They ridiculed the iPhone when it came out. What's the leadership going to say "We really dropped the ball on this one"? Ya right...blame anyone else. I'm not arguing that Windows Phone isn't better (nor am I arguing that it is). I'm arguing that the reason it isn't selling is 100% internal to Microsoft and isn't merely a marketing and perception problem.
