It will get worse, the combined strike of HTML-based "native" UIs, outsourcing and vibe-coding will be too much for any remaining original devs to defend against.

I've been reading articles like these since the 90's. Microsoft was never the company you wanted to rely on if you were serious about keeping computer systems running. It was never a pleasant experience being a Microsoft customer. And if you needed to work with non-trivial Office files or run Windows-only software, well, better grin and bear it. Maybe someday perfectly compatible and much higher-quality alternatives will come along and everyone will leave Microsoft behind. But don't hold your breath.

The article left out the most important question: are there any lasting negative consequences for Microsoft due to all these accidents? The answer is likely no. And that's all the the shareholders care about sadly. So this will continue to happen imo. Those Quality Assurance testers won't be coming back any time soon.
