> as that'd do nothing but generate negative PR. Don't you think we're far past the era where this was a reason not to do something? The "break stuff, 4d chess enthusiasts will explain why later" mentality seems to have permeated product design. Thinking of the loss of the headphone jack (objectively proven to have nothing to do with space-saving), the continuous killing of Google features, the rise of paid 'verification', the to-and-fro wins and loses in right to repair, looming loss of the ability to 'block' on Twitter (most Twitter updates post-Musk) - anti-features feel like a thing to be rationalised and waived off in 2023.
