"New" software is crap. To put it nicely.
"People would rather run-as-admin, give full security, override UAC, use a broken browser, etc. than actually update their software to be using tech from the correct decade."
Yes of course, people aren't stupid. Software from "correct decade" is bug-ridden piece of s**t with brain-damaged "flat" UI and it reports everything it can find about you, your friends or anyone or anything to mothership: Full fleged spyware slinging ads every 10 seconds. Like Edge literally does.
Why the f**k would *anyone* *downgrade* their working piece to new piece of s**it? Tell us?
Any rational reason is valid, but "security" isn't one of them, on Windows. When OS is full of holes "upgrading", i.e. fu**ing with working system, isn't a reason at all.
I do agree on software development model, it has been totally broken since DOS 1.0.
