Thus I'm left wondering what is going on at Microsoft. Did they assign some random intern to create the Windows 10 installation media tool? It is very incompetently made.

I get the same feeling with a lot of other things in Win10 (which I'm only using because I'm forced to). IMHO it's a sign of the shift to a metrics-driven culture, where the "unquantifiable" parts of quality are being completely ignored in favour of bettering numerical ones. Microsoft isn't the only one, this seems to be happening industry-wide.
