You thought the aim of the product was to manage your files in a way convenient to you.

The actual goal was to lock your enterprise into Microsoft cloud services.

Now that this goal has been achieved, support for the product has been wound down to the bare minimum required.

It's not even that.

Every megacorp fails at product engineering once things are "stable". The incentive goes away from teams investigating and fixing bugs and instead those teams shift to whatever new thing can get them promotions. Google is very known that problem, but it exists at all big corps.
