> then when Vista(?) happened they suddenly decided screw everything

What? ClearType was basically introduced in Vista and refined in Win 7.

Win 8 is when they start to remove it for various applications (UWP, and some others) due to its poor performance on retatable devices (tablets mainly).

That's why I say "basically". They only made it the default starting from Vista.
