I mean, see Windows Vista. It was eventually patched up to the point where it was semi-usable (and then quietly killed off), but on introduction it was a complete mess. But... something had to be shipped, and this was something, so it was shipped.
(Vista wasn't the only one; Windows ME never even made it to semi-usable, and no-one even remembers that Windows 8 _existed_.)
Microsoft has _never_, as far as I know, been a company to be particularly concerned about product quality. The copilot stuff may be unusually bad, but it's not that aberrant for MS.
