Because:

  1. You pay for windows ("supposed to pay" atleast)
  2. You cant be mad at a community effort. Don't like it? Fork it or help fix it.

    Indeed, last time I paid for windows was like windows 7. Only free upgrades since then.

    But fixing a bug is not as simple as "fork it or help fix it", those are by far the most complicated options that only a tiny faction of users (can) take.

    "help fix it" can be opening a good issue with instructions on how to recreate and details, it can be testing new features and fixes, or even paying someone some money to fix it for you and contribute to upstream. (Gitcoin, upwork etc.)

    How to recreate it? There are SO many variables. I am not going to set up a new system just too see if I can replicate some bug... unless it is a really big issue with something very important, at which point someone already did that.
