I was recently pulling my hair out because a recent update caused a bug in the Windows recovery media creator that prevented the Windows RE from recognizing USB input devices. The few weeks between the faulty update and the fix just happened to coincide with me needing to use it.

WTF are they doing messing with something as basic as the Recovery Environment? And further, in a way that breaks its utility entirely?

And no regression tests that caught it

Captive audience on the contracts side, so they can do whatever they want as crappy as they want and the contracts still generate revenue.

You wanted a usable product? Stay away from Big Tech anymore.

The version of windows 10 my Lenovo laptop can't see wifi. I don't like factory resetting that machine (actually I can't anymore since I wiped the recovery partition when I moved it to Linux) my framework laptop came with no OS so was immune to bad factory OS version problems
