Do you grouse this much every time Apple or Google release a new version of their OS?

No, because, since I don't use Apple or Google, I don't even know about their updates unless I read about it.

It's rare to come across an Apple or Android aficionado who has complaints about their OS. Granted, the percentage of Apple or Android users is a small percentage compared to Windows.

IMHO, MSFT's problems began when they got really invasive and stopped users from turning off updates.

I’ve never complained about an iOS update in my life until the last one, not sure why but it’s a battery hog compared to what was on it previously, tough to make it through the day without plugging it into the charger now no matter how much or how little I’ve used it. Not an old iPhone either, less than a year so it’s not the battery itself.

You literally can’t ignore Apple updates. At some point they’re forced to your phone. Microsoft is not the only game in town requiring this.

Yea, they just decided to start doing what Apple's been doing all along. Forced updates, spying on you, that kinda thing.
