It's not a conspiracy, just plain old incompetence.
The older I've gotten (or the further into late stage capitalism), the less I'm inclined to accept "Never attribute to malice, that which can be adequately explained by incompetence" (- Napoleon, perhaps) and the more I subscribe to "Why not both?".
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
Nice.
"It's probably malice."
There's definitely plenty of evidence for both at MS.
No, it’s incompetence to have the hubris to do this on purpose.
