I can't get it how Steam can make an app store for Windows that works unlike Microsoft. It's not at all unique, because Dropbox was able to make a cloud storage product that works, unlike Microsoft. It seems like having access to the OS internals is a bug, not a feature.

It is unsolicited advice but I'd suggest that Microsoft get the Windows store working right before it spends billions on a source of games for it that as it is people won't be able to play. (... for that matter, am I the only one who sees links to unwholesome "Youtube shorts" on the Youtube home page that don't actually play? I have the problem both on Windows/Firefox and my iPad)

The usual cause for something like this is that management is incentivizing for something that isn't quality. Velocity is the normal one that gets people, but there are a few others that occasionally get people (number of open tickets/lack of outrage on social media/etc).

It is, of course, possible that the team is incompetent, but that's usually an easier problem to fix, and if the team has had normal turnover, the odds of them having consistently incompetent ICs for years on end is pretty low.

Say what you want but OneDrive/Teams instant collaboration was a game changer when my former company got the licenses. My laptop died and I was back up and running on a new one within the hour. This was a couple years ago, it's table stakes now but it's not like they can't do cloud storage and syncing
