For me it's no doubt 'Spotify'. Hilarious loading times and lack of functions, in my case for podcast and audio books, which are standard for years in FOSS-players like AntennaPod.

That's fucking terrible.

Unfortunately in my roughly a decade in IT, I've only seen a vendor failing to deliver a core feature tank a contract once. It's completely fucking absurd how many systems/softwares/products are in use because contracts were signed based off specific feature promises, that then were never completed.

Does this shit happen in other industries? I have a hard time imagining some company signing a contract for delivery trucks that for instance, ran on diesel, the truck manufacturer saying they didn't have those yet but would by time of delivery, delivering gas trucks anyway, and the company that ordered them going "Well I guess we'll just suck it up. No need to have legal get a chunk of our money back. No need to stop doing business with that truck manufacturer. We'll just make the fleet mechanics retrofit them with no extra budget, time, or headcount. Let's go do lines in the executive bathroom."

But that's what seems to happen with software products all the fucking time.
