Why are these companies so retarded? Why aren't there more options?

Making things is hard. I mean, look at what you're making and selling .. literally nothing.

For the last few months I've been on the fence about making a tech company my goal instead of my other plans.

Forced "features" I'm never going to use, like anything AI related
Poorly thought out UX
Bland designs that have no personality
Politics
Can't think of a 5th one

This is me.
Top three are the main ones. 4th is just a bad idea regardless of the industry.
Some real examples are how I was considering switching to NVidia but saw all the marketing for AI features (with their own specific processors) I wouldn't enable anyway. It would feel like I'm wasting my money. I'm actually not against things like framegen, but that's better for low-end cards and NV is hugely missing out by not capitalizing on that. If I'm spending 500+$ on a graphics card I better not need that in the first place.
Another example is pretty much everything I've seen from Windows 11 actually has me considering a Mac. Apple stuck to a formula that worked for years and now they're coming out with a new UI that actually has personality and stands out. Meanwhile the W11 UX has a bunch of decisions that make no sense like a browser with ads and articles in the start menu. A Microsoft version of Honey in edge. Copilot button in fucking notepad. The taskbar is unrecognizable.
I can't even find a TV that isn't some smart "Google TV" OS. It's always laggy as hell and redundant when I'm going to connect it to a console or HTPC anyway.
If I'm spending my money on something I want every dollar to count toward a seamless experience. I don't want to waste my time and money on gimmicks I'm not going to use. Then there's always bonus points for cool or interesting designs that have personality.
