I think this applies to almost all modern software.

Apple Mail automatically adds calendar entries from attachments in my junk mail to my calendar. I get tons of spam/phishing mails with appointments attached that i now manually have to delete from my calendar all the time. There is no dedicated setting to disable this, according to Apple support, deactivating Siri integration inside calendar and mail app settings will prevent this, but it doesn't.

MS Outlook has switched from their native code to a WebView inside a wrapper and that means we're back in the 90s when it comes to email. Basic features like adding an image inline no longer work, the option to enable this is buried in some badly worded menus and of course it resets after each update and also gets renamed in each update.

Software quality, especially from the big corps, is just absolute garbage these days. Designed by people that don't use it and built by people that have 6 months of web dev experience.
