Unfortunate. So many of the comments here seem to miss the point and this is a theme I have noticed through my career as a developer.
Yes, every button on a calculator is eventually needed by someone as are every optional concern in every application, but every optional concern is not needed by everybody and certainly not frequently.
Selectivity of desired features is a bias. The inability to account for bias in product design makes for shitty products that are either excessively complex or excessively expensive.
All terrain tires that are extremely safe for driving in snow are great, but I don’t need that living where I do since it almost never snows here. It is an unnecessary excess that I certainly would not want to pay for. For me this is no different than the tan button of a calculator which I have also never needed.
The inability to perceive or account for bias, as evidenced by the comments here, are why many employers are hesitant to elevate developers to product management positions, which is another form of selective bias.
