I don’t understand why shareholders keep this guy’s CEO he’s absolutely terrible at his job

What are you talking about? Under this guy's tenure the MSFT share price skyrocketed. What else would shareholders care about? He's doing an excellent job, as far as they're concerned.

IMO, Satya isn’t the same anymore. His disabled child died, and he gave a speech about pushing forward to investors at the time but no longer cares about accessibility. Now, he’s got ai-induced psychosis so he doesn’t care about azure, office, Xbox, linkedin, GitHub, etc. Unless it has Copilot in it, because he’s invested in openAI.

Mate, have you seen the valuation of companies handling AI or hardware that AI requires?

Shareholders are creaming their pants any time someone says "agentic" or "AI".

Oh dear. That sounds like a super-villain origin story. "I just wanted to develop an AI capable of bringing back my dead child to life!" Another broken soul with too much power...
