Also to reduce testing overhead when you invariably don't think of permutations - which is now that much harder as you'll need to manually test with the feature flag enabled, since everyone else will probably be running with the defaults. You think all text manipulation code in and around the backspace functionality in Chrome is static? Seems unlikely to me. Also reduces refactoring overhead - less code, after all. To me, the question is which will happen first:
1) They remove the toast intentionally after everyone's muscle memory has adjusted.
2) They remove the toast accidentally by refactoring input logic and breaking the popup functionality without noticing.
