> Minor improvements such as in this case can improve the productivity

Unfortunately when your sales come from hardware vendors and you have a monopoly those improvements have zero ROI and that's why minor improvements haven't happened until now when Apple has eroded their mind & marketshare.

Note, Apple's business model of selling direct to consumer means these small productivity improvements are noticed by the purchaser, which is why we often see minor improvements on their platform and not MS.
