You know the real problem? They thought because their button was easier to find and press that people would use it and not look for better buttons. And, to an extent, they are right, but… the other buttons are compellingly better at the things they specialize in, and right now no company specializes in ALL THE THINGS particularly well. Claude is a better writer, ChatGPT makes better drawings, Gemini is (getting closer to) what Google Search always wanted to be. They’re all imperfect, but each has its niche and people shop around enough to discover that CoPilot isn’t usually the best scratch for their personal itch.
Why would you expect that? When was the last time Micro$lop made the best anything? Or even something good? Or at least decent? Or at the very least not openly hostile to the user?
They didn’t miss shit, they just competed and lost to like the four other AI companies that executed much better than them.

Yeah but you’d expect they could make copilot the best at working with excel and it’s just not as good as the competition in that specialization
Core Excel development team was made redundant 10 years ago, profits over people. I wish that was /s but it’s more likely true than not.
