This is the bigger problem. There is a financial incentive to make OS suck for everyone but the biggest enterprise clients. If some linux provider started to fill take significant market share from, windows, it would eventually become as bad and for the same reasons. We need a wide field of competition to keep this from happening. The problem is that with all these competing OS variants, none have the resources and user-base to maintain easy compatibility with all the software and hardware being produced. So they all suck a little bit and in different ways. If one did get big enough to manage this, then they will exploit that market dominance through enshittification. It's a never ending battle.
