I wonder about these kinds of "things are getting worse" assertions. I might put it a different way: - new software might have more problems than older stable software. - There is exponentially more software being created now - new software is on the forefront of solving more of society's problems - maybe things are getting better? (though there is some dystopian software, like any cookie/privacy dialog) - this might be an example of doing the right things poorly, instead of doing the wrong things well¹.
