I'm half convinced that Microsoft puts all of their best employees in Azure and cloud products while poor performers are dumped in the legacy Windows group where they come up with "features" like this one. Seems like everything they've been doing the past decade with legacy Windows is ruled by "users are too dumb to know what they want but we're even dumber". As Windows becomes a smaller and smaller share of Microsoft's revenues, expect to see more of the bottom cruft dumped into it. Or to put it another way, Windows is Microsoft's new PIP before they fire you. On the other hand, they just laid off a couple hundred from Azure, so maybe the above isn't quite right or there just isn't enough room in the Windows group for those who fail to perform at the expected level doing Azure, so they were laid off directly.
