I feel it in two ways.

I've been using windows for the past 5 years or so. I was using Linux before that. I used to complain about things breaking in Linux but the situation in Windows is way worse than it ever was in Linux. A couple of days ago my co-worker turned on his computer and windows has locked him out somehow. He had to disable secure boot, recover his bitlocker passphrase from his microsoft account, and only then could he get past the boot screen. The theory is that his laptop turned off while updating. I'm thinking, why doesn't the update abort when it realizes it's not plugged in or on low battery. He said it had never happened to him before and I have also never seen it.

The other side I notice is with google products. Barring android, GCP, and the less than yearly occassional outage, I would never see a bug in google products. Now I notice them often in drive, sheets, gmail, and specially meet. The other day I joined a meeting and all participants couldn't log in. NEVER have I seen such a bad production bug from google.

Profits over wonderful products I guess

My two Win 11 machines have been pretty solid for a while, but my Ubuntu Linux machine has had a lot of trouble with software updates.

When I built the machine about 12 years ago [1] it allocated a /boot partition that was big enough then but not big enough but as Ubuntu grew the /boot was too small to keep as many versions as Ubuntu wanted so kernel upgrades needed manual intervention. And for that machine it is a hassle because it runs headless and if it doesn't come up with the Ethernet working I have to pull it out of it's home and set up a workstation.

More recently I rebuilt / completely (kept the ZFS array) and this time Ubuntu didn't make a /boot so the files live on / but now when it does software updates it often fails to install the realtek driver modules so it comes up without the Ethernet and I have to take it upstairs to rebuild it. Copilot offered me a script to tell if the modules are busted after a kernel upgrade so I can do the the manual fix before the reboot now.

I guess I can't complain too much, I mean this $150 machine that I upgraded with 32GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GPU is going strong, though now that I think about it the second ZFS array I built for it is past warranty even if it only half full.
