Did the headline just tell me that, enshitification, something which is always by design, is by design?

Under Satya Nadella and Amy Hood, Microsoft has become a glorified investment bank, bereft of delivering innovation
This rings true. No one thinks that MS is doing anything special. They need a unique product and they need to get it into a lot of peoples hands.
If i were MS, I’d switch to ARM or better yet RISC-V and make some extremely efficient devivces that run both Windows and their complete office stack.
They are someone on this trajectory by converting Outlook to a PWA but it’s not fast enough.
I'm not sure how Microsoft can enshittify: all of Microsoft products have been shit to begin with.
Bullshit title. I've long suspected that their enshitification is by design but this article isn't about that at all.
There's not a single sentence about it being by design. For example I believe that app search was made intentionally bad because it creates more bing hits. But the article doesn't talk about anything like this. Instead it's several paragraphs mentioning layoffs and other failures.
