Yeah I know, I only mentioned software and programs since
that's what this list is about. ;-)
I said Windows in the WORST, not the ONLY one that does it.
There's forums for every operating system and every software
and hardware application because "support" is a long-lost art,
and non-existing these days. Even manuals are very rare. IF
you can find one, it's very basic and general. In the unlikely
event one gets a reply to an inquiry, you find out those
responding know less about their own product that you do!
There's a lot of books out there for popular software that have
titles such as "Unlocking the Secrets of...[whatever product]".
Usually it's sources such as that, or similar web sources where
one has to go to find these things, or just by luck of
continuos use.

Actually, I find this behaviour everywhere in all industries,
not only
computers. And for computers, Microsoft is not alone. Why else
is there
help forums for every operating system and every software and
hardware
application?
My 2 cents for the day.
