Power companies: "We're overloaded because of AI datacenters and need some relief. Let's let people pay for their own hardware. Its OK, we'll still charge them more for the remaining demand than we used to for the full amount. Plus we'll find a way to increase delivery fees for the privilege."
Maybe incompetence was too strong a word, but interacting with many MS services feels so disjoint and siloed, I just don't see them building and leveraging user profiles as extensively as Google does.
The logic I follow is that Microsoft is slightly safer than Google, if only because they're probably less capable of doing anything with the data they scrape. Security by incompetence.

Only half kidding, more solar is more good.
