Not op, and I generally agree with your assumption but not for Microsoft, as I don't think it's limited to Windows:
Teams, Office (especially online), One Drive, SharePoint, Azure, GitHub, LinkedIn, all became very shitty and partially unusable with increasing number of weird bugs or problems lately.
And it's not just Microsoft. Apple and other are having the same issue. Something fundamental seems to have happened post Covid but before AI.
WFH, flood of Dev hiring, increasingly hostile worker relations, a bunch of web 2.0 folks finally retiring, VC money drying up...
take your pick.
Software is just crappy these days.

It just became more visible: testing _is_ expensive and time consuming.
But M$ share price goes up! Investors are smart as they are rich! And they do believe in this all!
