Thats largely because 90s software was jank, and the internet exposed all kinds of more jank and viruses... but now, most things just work. Also, most people arent really using desktops, they're using phones or tablets or game consoles, where the OS is very much locked down.

Software is still jank. Well maybe except zfs and sqlite, but the rest is jank. Also seL4.
