To be fair, everything about PCs back then sucked.
DOS was crap, when you had tGEM and Amiga OS.
Windows 1 and 2 was beyond terrible.
They were shit for games
They were bulky
They were slow
They crashed all the time.
They were ugly
They were noisy.
They were hard to manage (autoexec.bat, no OS in ROM, stupidly tricky partitioning tools, incompatible drivers for the same hardware but in different applications, etc)
But IBM lost control of the hardware market so they became cheap, ubiquitous crap.
And that’s literally the only reason we got stuck with PCs.
