One example in MS Word is the ribbon. It is relatively recent invention, and when it was introduced, _at least_ they went to the effort of using telemetry to guess which features where actually often utilized versus which ones where not, and designed the ribbons in accordance. Nowadays every new "feature" introduced in MS Word is just randomly appended to the right end of the main ribbon. As it is now you open a default install of MS Word and at least 1/3 of the ribbon is stuff that is being pushed to the users, not necessarily stuff that users want to use. At least I can keep customizing it to remove the new crap they add, but how long until this customization ability is removed for "UI consistency" ?
