I largely agree with your point, but I have to say as a user I generally don’t enjoy A/B testing at all. It’s invisible to me, and some part of the app or website I’m using is now either broken or annoying in some way, but still works normally for the people I mention it to, since they’re not in my group. Additionally, the changes are sometimes totally transient, so things are disrupted for me briefly, only to be distrusted again.

A/B testing when it's like the color of something (did you know you can change the hacker news banner color?) doesn't bother me much, but when it's more invasive and I can't turn it off or switch teams, it starts to get annoying. Especially when you're trying to help someone and they are seeing something different from what you see.
