I mean Microsoft has always had a reputation for shipping bad software, what that reflects on their developer teams is up to the audience. Personally I'd say it's reflective of a bad engineering culture that doesn't care about quality or craftsmanship due to lack of an incentive to ship good software but every incentive to ship software at scale, quality be damned. Like in this article alone, that's a change that should never be made. It's an understandable bug but it's indicative of carelessness, both managerial (how does this hold up to code review?) and QA (why is no one asking why login splashes take 30 seconds?).
