You can say the exact same thing about US-made Windows software.

I have never seen a company based in the US distribute such absolutely terrible software unabashedly, no. I recently looked at the software which came with a laser cutter, which included a cracked copy of a CNC controller software, some random utilities with no confidence inspiring features whatsoever, burned to a CD-R and shoved in the box. That's the sort of level of quality and polish which didn't even strike me as abnormal.
Ever heard about Oracle? Or RSA, which I remember only worked correctly on one particular language version of Windows?
