I disagree with the assertion that quality is always decreasing.

For me, this is a game of perceptions where crappy software becomes popular and profit motive makes it risky to attempt iterations. No executive working at Microsoft is interested in the liability that would come with a win32 rewrite of Teams, even if the UX would triple in quality overnight.

If anything, the quality of most software should be dramatically better than ever before, especially when you factor in the relevant tools & ecosystems.
