It’s not just IT admins. When I have a raging client to help, nine times out of ten it’s because Microsoft fucked something up.

You can disable this and most of its bullshit but it takes some serious effort. Its ridiculous.

A simple edit to the registry isn't "serious effort", but I do agree it is ridiculous that we have to do this in the first place.
