MSFT lays the burden of QC to its users. This is intended and they mean the end product to be shitty at the beginning and gradually improve every sprint/release. That's the world now.
I started to notice this when I tried out Power BI back in 2018. Back then the software is barely useable by developers. The code editor is barebone and overall the software is bloat and slow. But it has improved a lot since then. We can definitely argue that at least some of the nitty gritties should be fixed even before the earlier releases, but I guess the culture is already "Move fast, get back when you fall" -- after all it is the users who fall anyway.
I wonder how old timers such as Raymond Chen or David Cutler view this phenomenon. David Cutler is said to be very stringent on the quality of the kernel at least.
