You jump to questionable conclusions here. They just meant that Microsoft messing something up to this degree is not a big shock to people who already had MS related issues.
Some of their designs are downright malicious (like locking the email account until you give them your phone number), more often it's amazingly bad software/UI, and sometimes they'll ruin your weekend by rolling out a Windows update without asking which wipes your partitions or throws bluescreens on boot.
I decided a while ago it's not worth it for me and stopped using as much MS related stuff as possible, and I'm glad I did.
