Why doesn't Microsoft do this themselves? They've larded up Windows with tons of worthless crap, so clearly they have a lot of time of their hands. Why not give the user something useful for once, something that OS X users have had for decades?

Is the company full of morons, or do they just not see what's in it for them? That is, why bother helping the user if it won't necessarily make them $$$?

Sad as they are, I find these little details fascinating. They really show how unimaginative and short-term oriented giant public tech companies often are.

Apple ruining the MBP in 2016, only to walk back pretty much everything they did 6 years later, is another great example.
