This is not why your "serious people (and Microsoft)" aren't fixing this stuff.

They don't fix this stuff, because it's a priority-3 ticket sitting in the middle of the queue that has hundreds of similar tickets on it, and none of them are being done, because the team has moved on and is either developing new stuff, or addressing priority-1 bugs that are blocking the other teams that are developing the new stuff (possibly backend stuff, but still stuff that will bring money).
