I have the exact opposite experience , I happen to encounter software glitches nearly every day (especially in shitty apps like Spotify or Todoist) when back in the late 00's/early 10's everything worked as expected (except some occasional Windows blue screens or Linux kernel panics I guess), I guess it's just because how companies design their software for normies and if you happen to use some more advanced features, you will encounter software bugs all the time.
Useful features are removed all the time because apparently marketing departments think that people don't use them, and some of us depend on some things with no real alternatives.
Error messages were also actually helpful back then, nowadays it's just "Something happened" or "Unknown error", good luck finding out what's the problem with that info.
Error messages on android be like "OOPSIE WOOPSIE!!! We maaade abiiig fucky wucky 3: ohhh noooo the isssueee is soo bad we so sooowwyyy!! Pwease, restart the app and if it isn't fixed then go fuck yowsewf!!!"
