It's actually called Agile Development and has been evolving for over 20 years. I don't think Microsoft can take any of the credit for it.

The problem is that Agile Development depends very heavily on automated testing to ensure that changes can be deployed quickly with minimum risk. I can imagine that automated testing of a gyroscope would be quite difficult and that the gyroscope feature is mocked (faked) in most tests rather than having robots tilting devices (but who knows?).

One thing that is worth pointing out for those complaining about beta releases relying on customers to highlight issues. This is exactly the definition of a beta release. If you don't want to stumble on unexpected bugs then stay away from beta release and wait for the general availability release.

EA/FM should be testing their product against every release of iOS but again the gyroscope is probably mocked in these tests rather than having robots. They are only really obligated to test for the general availability release as well. They don't have to ensure the product works against beta releases.
