the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware

I highly doubt it, seriously, I don't think they test update some VMs and say "that's good", there's thousands and thousands people working at MS, I don't know how many on win11 but certainly a few hundreds, I doubt none of them install the upgrade on real hardware to test.

I work with all sorts of Microsoft products daily.
And I'd be really surprised if a sane, sapient person used or tested their products in any way before they're pushed out.
Cause then there just wouldn't be any explanation for what the fuck they're currently doing.

A couple of years ago they pushed out an update for the enterprise version of Windows Defender that deleted every single program shortcut from the start menu and desktop on every single device. There’s no way that was tested at all
