Contrary, every consumer facing product I've worked had no performance metrics tracked. And for enterprise software it was even worse as the end user is not the one who makes a decision to buy and use software.
>>what you mean by software houses
How about Microsoft? Start menu is a slow electron app.
The Start menu is not an Electron app. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
The Start menu is React Native, but Outlook is now an Electron app.
That makes the usability and performance of the windows start menu even more embarrassing.
The decline of Windows as a user facing product is amazing, especially as they are really good at developing things they care about. The “back of house” guts of Windows has improved alot, for example. They should just have a cartoon Bill Gates pop up like clippy and flip you the bird at this point.
Much worse is that the search function built into the start menu has been broken in different ways in every major release of Windows since XP, including Server builds.
It has both indexing failures and multi-day performance issues for mere kilobytes of text!
React Native, not Electron. Though it is slower than it was
People believing it says something about the start menu
hey, haven't seen that one in the wild for a little bit :-D https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/aaaah

If your users are trapped due to a lack of competition then this can definitely happen.
