    And in Microsoft’s case you also have to preserve backwards compatibility. It’s one of the reasons the OS continues to dominate despite how it treats its users.

        They tend to make breaking changes every other release, which is always the release that people hate. (Granted, I don’t know wtf they’ve done with usability in Windows 11, but at least I can’t move the taskbar anymore.)

          Well, that’s a breaking change for usability. I’m talking e.g. not allowing any random process to access the clipboard.
