What is the deal with waking up randomly with the lid closed on Windows?

I can't figure out why Windows has these crazy bugs that aren't addressed, aren't a huge company with almost infinite resources..?

Why can't they make Windows work properly, it's been 40 years... :-/

AFAIK, Microsoft and/or Intel pushed to remove the usual sleep S3 state and use a less sleepy state to be able to access network and display notifications. As if it was a tablet or a Macbook.

This is (of course) badly done, and tested as well the rest of Windows, so it results in laptops waking up in bags, choking thermally, and not going back to sleep.
