It's the typical Microsoft playbook, where they release a product and convince everyone that it has to be used everywhere, and by the time people realize how unbelievably terrible the product is it's too late and it has entrenched itself everywhere.

They've run this experiment before; Windows is terrible and has been for a very long time, Microsoft Office is terrible and has been for a very long time, Sharepoint is terrible and has been for a very long time, LinkedIn is terrible and has been for a very long time, etc.

It's what they do, there is not a single thing that Microsoft does not half-ass, because all they focus on is getting embedded into places, and that does not require that any of their products be good.
