I agree with you 100%. My comment was meant to complain about how the HN crowd was up voting an article which kicked off UI rants in the comments section when there was an article right beneath it with interesting techniques to add to your tool kit. Keyboard complaints though... not sure why they changed that. But the "no good reason" is garbage because there are at least a couple reasons. Google migrating the A team from "gmail" to "inbox" possibly introducing less experienced devs/designers. Google trying to apply consistent UI principles across all applications in order to increase familiarity. When trying to make improvements there should be some room for experimentation / failure. I would expect this community to understand that since it is heavily made up of makers. So, for me, if the OP had titled it complaints about lollipop instead of stop changing UI for no good reason, I would have thought it to be right on. If the commenters didn't rally around it with pitchforks, I would have had no problem.
