You haven’t been looking in the right places then, I’ve been seeing it since I started working in IT nearly a decade ago.
It has definitely gotten crappier since I started though.
(Microsoft Admin whining incoming)
More and more snags related to implementation details of ancient functionality that still exists under the hood of their all new shiny crap, but isn’t actually documented properly anywhere anymore because rolling out new stuff is more important than finishing documentation on core sysadmin tools multiple years old.
They got rid of all training courses, certs, and learning material for all their on premise stuff in order to push cloud only setups years ago. They are just barely starting to backtrack that, so there’s a massive gap in official documentation.
Thank god my team has enough requisite greybeards to bridge the gap and train me on what Microsoft wants to pretend isn’t still in widespread use.
Seriously though for the first time I am seeing long time Microsoft admins start to complain
