the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware

I highly doubt it, seriously, I don't think they test update some VMs and say "that's good", there's thousands and thousands people working at MS, I don't know how many on win11 but certainly a few hundreds, I doubt none of them install the upgrade on real hardware to test.

I work with all sorts of Microsoft products daily.
And I'd be really surprised if a sane, sapient person used or tested their products in any way before they're pushed out.
Cause then there just wouldn't be any explanation for what the fuck they're currently doing.
