Almost all of the examples listed are in relation to hardware. As far as I can see, hardware vendors see software as a cost centre and at best don’t care about quality and more often than not try to make up for the cost by bundling crapware with the drivers.

General purpose application software is leagues beyond the crap that hardware vendors pull off.



Well, I'd want to see it only be hardware but sadly it's also common in software-only too: Adobe applications being extremely slow/inefficient/buggy (not even mentioning the creative cloud app which insists on working in BG even if no Adobe apps are open), want a monthly fee, or Microsoft bloating its own OSes UI with ad of its own services are just a few examples.
