I would mind. No single person should have that much wealth.

It is, not from a technical pov but from an investment pov. I very well understand the benefit as a person in IT, but what do you think is more important to investors? Spending (significant) resources on behind-the-scenes improvements that may keep some income flowing vs spending resources on the new AI hype tool to be sold to better paying enterprise customers?

I don't endorse that mode of operation (team 🐧), but that seems to be what's happening.

What financial incentive is there in user retention and code improvements? Windows licences likely don't contribute a large share of MSFTs income (would have to look it up, but am currently sitting in a train with just a smartphone) and even with all the shit since Win11, Windows is still the largest OS by far.

MSFT is earning a lot of money with AI & cloud. Any increase in revenue there likely dwarf possible gains in Windows improvements.

I have several grocery stores of different chains in my vicinity, in a 3km radius I could probably choose between 10+ locations (I just checked after posting: There are at least 18 grocery stores within that range and some options like farmer markets not listed). I only go to the closest ones (~500m) by foot, for most things further away I take my bike.
