KB5077181 was released about a month ago as part of the February Patch Tuesday rollout. When the update first arrived, users reported a wide range of problems, including boot loops, login errors, and installation issues.

Microsoft has now acknowledged another problem linked to the same update. Some affected users see the message “C:\ is not accessible – Access denied” when trying to open the system drive.

I mean, do those headcount numbers count contractors?

I linked the source for my information, feel free to dig into it for more detail.

Beyond that, unless you have an actual source for the culture shift beyond 'you think so'

I literally said I didn't know whether there had been a culture shift. Reread the last line of my comment. All I'm doing here is pointing out that your own view on the subject is likely very outdated at this point. There's been enormous employee turnover, including right to the top CEO position, and other major companies have merged into Microsoft in the interim.

I'm willing to bet it is now even worse.

Based on?

I'm not doubting your previous experience. I'm just pointing out that it was a long time ago and a lot has happened since then, so I'd like to hear some more recent evidence.
