    The mistake you are making is conflating profitability and quality.

    Microsoft has very, very good salespeople and they let the sunk cost fallacy do the rest. Their products donโ€™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 โ€œtoo complicatedโ€ or โ€œtoo risky.โ€

    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.
