I worked for Microsoft for 17 years, most of that in and around Windows. I can tell you that you are wrong. Whatever the company’s flaws, the people in Windows care deeply about compatibility and about not breaking things with updates. I have hours of stories from the trenches, and could probably talk at length about how such a point of view would be suicidal for the Windows business. I don’t know what went wrong here, and I’m not saying Microsoft is blameless. I am saying that whatever went wrong was NOT due to lack of caring about breaking things, even non-Microsoft stuff sharing the same computer.
