People have been using, "It's what the [insert Blazing Saddles clip here] want!" for years to describe platform changes that dumb down features and make it harder to use tools productively. As always, it's a lie; the real reason is, "The new way makes us more money," usually by way of a dark pattern.

Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Be overly suspicious and let them walk you back to trust (that's their job).
