On my my glorified gaming console (Windows desktop PC) it drives me absolutely nuts when I'm in the middle of some competitive game and a random auto-updater pops up, minimizing my current current fullscreen application. Bonus points if it happens again 30 seconds later because it launches the application after updating it (Why? I didn't even have it open before!)
In some cases this had to get past QA at two billion-dollar companies, and neither did something about it.
But that's far from the only way we've regressed in software quality. Really not worth mentioning. A drop of piss in an ocean of sewage.
I'm glad that at least on my actual computer I get to focus on work distraction free - likely because most of the software running on there is designed by its users and survived by merit, rather than being the brainfart of some corporate committee more concerned with other things.
