    The corrupt oligopolists have completely given up on QA; why would they bother when they don’t feel any real competitive pressure.

    AFAIK, this has been happening as far back as Windows 8. I believe they had a giant pool of physical PCs (laptops, pre-builts and various popular component combinations for desktop) that they physically tested updates on, but they scrapped all of it because they know they don’t need to worry about competition.

      Maybe they didn’t need to worry about competition because they tested so vigorously. 🤷‍♂️
