It makes me think that the enshittification of an OS, particularly Windows, comes down to corporations not willing to settle for a steady stream of revenue, but wanting to pump profits at the expense of the platform itself. Microsoft both is and isnt a good steward of Windows. It's stable for programs written years ago, yet its interaction to the users are an insult to your intelligence. I see similarities in Android. Every year it gets worse, but still not as shameless as microsoft. And mac, well I think Apple dances to its own tune and doesn't really care if the users like it or not, and they know they have loyal users who are just fine with that. God knows they'll never get real "Cut" support in Finder.
