You are making assumptions that are wrong. Just because you think a feature isn't used, that doesn't mean that there aren't users of that feature. Not every user participates in developer mailing lists to advocate for working features they currently use. Gnome has consistently made user hostile changes, like the time a minor release update changed key bindings from Unix style to Windows style for cut / paste / edit. Was nobody using keyboard shortcuts? I sure as damned hell don't think that was the case. I used to change the window decorations to something smaller than the default, because I like having more of my screen real estate available for actual content rather than useless UI padding. The current iterations of Gnome are unusable to me, when Gnome was visually appealing and highly usable 20 years ago. Window transitions and icon docks have done nothing to improve usability, and bigger borders are not better borders. Thankfully other desktops have far better feature retention rates.
