They don’t tell you this but… I know the real reason Windows Phone failed… it’s because it didn’t have a stopwatch or timer by default
I was in science class in middle school, being the only kid who had a Windows Phone, specifically my Nokia Lumia 521, and the teacher wanted a kid to time someone walking from one end of the hall to another for something, and when I tried to volunteer, I noticed the Clock app didn’t have any timer or stopwatch, meaning if I wanted one I’d have to install one from the Windows Store which would’ve taken too darn long on the LTE connection so someone else had to step up
This experience was so embarrassing that I spent hours looking for a way to email Microsoft and then eventually I emailed Microsoft, but from some country that I do not remember, chances are it was not Microsoft at all and I emailed some imposter company, but I sent an email begging them to add a timer and stopwatch default app. I got a response of sorts but don’t remember anything about it, but I believe it indicated they don’t care.
And then years later Windows Phone lost market share and eventually got discontinued, and people keep wondering why…
