  Enshittification does not mean making things suck in general. It specifically means the business model of making a good product for users, then making the product bad for users and good for advertisers or data purchasers or retailers or whatever, and then when you have a captured market, making it worse for everyone to squeeze more money faster.

  Microsoft is not doing this. They might be sucking, and making a worse product, but it’s not following the enshittification playbook.
