Ugh, dealing with Minecraft/Microsoft account management is a nightmare. I think somebody really just set out to make it as difficult, obtuse and frustrating as possible. How could Mojang make it painless but Microsoft make it "going to the dentist"?

Is this REALLY what You think? That the only possible reason for this is intentionall malice and not the fact that microsoft account is probably one of the biggest if not the biggest integrated service on the web (from cloud management with azure, trough apps and office suite, trough games, domain control and finally entire OS control across multiple different hardwares), which would inevitably lead to their system being more complicated, thus error prone?
