It's weird to me that a company of this size is just that inept. It's like once they have enough momentum, nothing can stop them.

The same goes for Google, and to some degree MS.

It's really true. I'm actually annoyed that MS is starting to feel this way, particularly with some Azure related services. MS was always the one you could count on to at least be stable, well tested internally, and predictable. At least in comparison to Google and Amazon. But it feels like they have been leaving some of that behind with their cloud stuff as CI/CD becomes more prevalent.
