You said it takes multiple people screwing up, implying that publishing content had multiple gates/reviewers.

It doesn’t.

But if there are no gates, doesn't that mean the people who should have put the gates in there screwed up?

There have been no Gates at Microsoft for a long time.

There is no singular publishing org at MSFT. Each product publishes its own docs, generally following a style guide. But the doc process is up to the doc owner(s).

That seems to further make the case that it's a systemic problem.

The organization would have more guardrails in place if it prioritized "don't break things" over "move fast".

What?

This is how it works. There are too many people here like the op that make assumptions on what the process is/should be.
