    They’re made to “Enhance the user experience profit”

    “Enhance the user experience” is just what the dev or documentation team writes when management dictates that they drop a feature. The only reasons they would have dropped it:

    • Dev work vs actual customer usage (e.g. it wasn’t getting a lot of users but devs had to maintain it with each update)
    • People were using it to intercept the stream and capture movies to pirate.

    Every decision is about increasing profits first, and UX almost always takes a back seat to that
