Microsoft were always a rapacious company bent on market dominance, but at least they used to be focused partially on trying to achieve that by creating very user focused software; which included large amounts of user testing and tuning every shortcut and icon for the best experience for the most users. Now they just seem to be intent on forcing user login, ads, and ai on users whether they want it or not, and generally degrading the whole user experience with no care.
