Is there any logical explanation on why they did this?
- toss1 5y agoI wish I knew. I literally cannot think of any rationale. It isn't like they have any concern about efficient or lightweight code so are stripping out features for that reason (and I know from conversation w/their lead developers decades ago that they have not had any interest in any such optimization for at least that long). I don't see how it confuses anyone, since it requires no action or knowledge to just leave it in the default position - I've encountered a few people who are surprised to see that it can be moved, so it isn't like the capability will cause problems. If they're concerned that someone might accidentally drag it and be surprised, then leave only the buried radio-button position control to select bottom/top/left/right. Seems like under-talented developers and product managers who can't think of anything that is actually creative and an improvement, so they just vandalize it to leave their mark. It is utterly baffling
