The worst launch was the first Starship.
It destroyed the launchpad during lift off, a while later went out of control because of engine failures and loss of thrust vector control and as cherry on top the system designed to destroy it (flight termination system) also failed.
This was declared a "success" by SpaceX.

I'm thoroughly convinced that a lot of the problems we have as a society in general and with the tech industry in particular is toxic positivity—when people just can't get themselves to call out bad things for what they are; it's so often I see needless defending of bad work or outright insults hurled at customers by big corporations, and endless calls for a false civility.

The other ongoing criticism is "well actually, iTunes was always bad".
No, it wasn't. When it was released it was _way_ better than any other jukebox sofware.
You could actually find stuff easily, manage playlists super quick. It ripped CDs, including getting track titles and managing files, with literally _no clicks required_.
Burning CDs took like two clicks.
While admittedly lock-in, it would sync your iPod with no clicks after dropping it in the iPod dock. And it was super fast. (Other manufacturers didn't have anything close to this convenient).
Other jukebox software didn't do any of this.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
