      No it’s worse. Tying the OS and GUI together to the extent they are in modern post-95 Windows is a major cause of the learned helplessness OP is talking about

        Maybe but I can’t personally blame someone for improving their product and throwing away DOS entirely.

        They ditched DOS with XP, so ≈22 years ago.

        The situation with Windows and DOS is as if ChromeOS took over so decisively that Linux became nothing more than a historical curiosity.
