Because the current CEO of Microsoft is a beancounter who is interested in that sweet sweet enterprise services money. He’s not focused on improving consumer Windows quality — just ways to wring more money out of its users.
He's not a bean counter he's an engineer. I'm not defending Win 11 at all btw.,
Plenty of engineer bean counters exist unfortunately, it's still the preferred way of gaining promotions. Show the higher ups how many beans you preserved, and you get a higher salary. Count even more beans, higher salary, etc. The IBM effect.
Suddenly engineers are in charge, but they set aside engineering long ago for "glorious" beans.
