This is what Microsoft will always lack: taste and style. Every once in a while they accidentally (-or not) come up with something that is decent but it doesn’t last, next version is atrocious in some way or another.
- Im sure there’s talented professional behind anything that is good and the accident is their decisions surviving the corporate gauntlet of enshitification or expnanding the scope of the project such that it becomes an unpleasant mess, probably obnoxious too.

They alwawys lacked an authoritarian UX and design chief, like their own Steve Jobs and Johnny Ive who, for better or worse, would be the only one with the final verdict on what the corporate design of all products should look like and what is allowed to ship. Microsoft is too fragmented, everyone of its products is basically a totally separate company with its own design language.
