It is mostly software, but it's not Microsoft's fault, because they do not make the hardware and are not expected to write the drivers for it.

Surface trackpads feel very close to Apple ones these days so it's down to OEMs.

Although at this point I'd argue Microsoft should be forcing a minimum level of experience on all Windows devices and providing the software tools and hardware guidance needed to get there.

The only way that works is for Microsoft to refuse to license Windows to manufacturers that don't meet those standards, and you're not going to catch them refusing to make a sale.

I guess that's our answer. They'd rather say "not our fault" than even try to solve it?
