There is no such thing as a line, it seems to be a long gradient and its about how fast you move on the gradient. If you ever so slightly introduce more and more crap slowly enough, people don't care as they forget how good they had it much earlier.

Boiling the frog

Sometimes they boil the frog too quickly, in which case they turn down the heat, wait 3 months, then turn it back up again.

Imagine the backlash if they just went straight from Windows XP to W11. There would be so much whiplash.
