No the mistake yall are making is ignoring if a product was truly bad then EVERYONE would abandon it but they don’t been doing IT for 2 decades windows is going no where.
Microsoft has very, very good salespeople and they let the sunk cost fallacy do the rest. Their products don’t have to be good. They just have to check certain boxes for sales and be recognizable, especially since so many people/businesses are genuinely unaware that alternatives exist, or think that (due to marketing and sunk cost fallacy) those are alternatives are “too complicated” or “too risky.”
MS has been using aggressive anti-competitive practices for decades to secure and hold market share. Making good things that people genuinely enjoy is not part of their business plan.

The mistake you are making is conflating profitability and quality.
