Nah this problem goes way farther back than 2022.
So what you are saying is microsoft has been microslop for longer than a few years? I'd agree with that
The Windows 8 start menu was candy crush and a ton of ads, and that was over a decade ago.
It reminded me back then of a 50$ chinese phone I got off Alibaba.
