Windows won't turn around and go back to a simpler advertisement-free offline account model this decade. Core Windows developers may know that they're making things worse. Leadership won't care as long as they get temporary boosts in numbers for office, copilot, and OneDrive subscriptions

Amazing thing for open platform operating systems when Windows Phone failed (MS managed that like trash. It didn't have a chance)
