When I see poorly executed UI like this, I get all passive aggressive and tweet about it. However, I do hope pointing it out and possibly even discussing it, makes it less likely to happenpic.twitter.com/RZA3qfgro9

I am comfortable assuming that many people are — like me — at least partly driven by guilt. If a designer won’t do the right thing for truly caring, ethics, etc. at least they can worry about being called out for it!
I don't think there is a designer anywhere near that team. One of the things that amazes me about Microsoft is how they choose to keep UIs created in 1995 (or earlier) embedded deep within new designs and product versions. The product is so big no one knows what's in it anymore.
But old school they did. Seen people talk about it. They had design early to set frameworks, and purportedly to do every detailed layout. Wouldn’t be surprised if revisions are engineering-only though. Sadly.
I think it's also a good example of how a design system without a corresponding development / build system that separates interface presentation from functionality means that designers can update anything, but that nothing will propagate. The UI build is still very manual.
