Why do companies ship this garbage? Products that barely work at all, actively stop their users from using them, and deliver awful experiences their users hate. Maybe someone can point to a 2% increase on an internal dashboard, but who actually likes this? Do the people shipping this junk use their own products?

When will they start building good experiences that solve problems instead of create new ones?

Maybe later.
