Why can’t they just decide on a framework and stick with it, warts and all? My God Microsoft is the worse for this, how many .Net frameworks do they have out? I’m glad I’m “stuck” back the world of “simple” Qt GUI and lower level embedded stuff.

Design and framework churn is a sort of conspicuous consumption. It's not that, taken literally, your 1997 geocities site has gotten any worse - it's that making something better is so trivial that if you don't make something better you look like an idiot / someone without resources / totally un-self-aware.
Yea, because C++ world is known for having one, sane thing instead of 10 inconsistent.
