“Apple rejects Bing for being bad” isn’t clickbaity enough. But yeah, one would definitely think Bing would have support for every language/market under the sun after 14 years, or that Microsoft would have more to show Apple since 2015.

Google has it far too easy

For all its size, Microsoft is generally horrendous at making their products available globally. For example, Xbox Live Gold / Xbox Game Pass only became available in all EU countries in February 2023 (previously, you could only access it by buying pre-paid cards from another country).

Their (now defunct) music streaming service was never accessible in many of the poorer EU countries - not to mention globally (to add insult to this, they didn't even pull the advertising from it in local versions of Windows - you'd get big ads for it, but following them would only lead to a mess of redirects).

Even Sony, a much much smaller company, has more global coverage and faster than MS - the PS4 had full support in Romania for example since launch in 2013, and PSPlus has also been available since around the same time - nearly a decade before the MS services.
