I am not going to defend MS but I have to say that the frustration is less than it was in the 90s.
Reinstalling Windows used to take an entire afternoon. Now I can do it in an hour.
Basically Windows and computers in general have always been frustrating.
I'm not certain what point you are attempting to make, The size of Windows install has not smaller and therefore improving install time, but rather the hardware has gotten so much faster. Installing from a USB 3 key is so much faster than floppy or optical media, as well as NVMe drives are receiving the data vs old spinning rust drives.
Ah my point is that Widows hasn't gotten worse. You can probably still find old forum posts complaining about Vista...
It was always bad. It is now easier to fix it. We are making progress lol.
