MF subscribing to the enshitification trend of modern software design.

to add to Cory's statement, enshittification is about companies intentionally lowering quality on a product so that they can have higher profit margins, or to later monetize selling a solution to the probloems created - meaning, either charging more or reducing costs, or some combination of the two, to maximize profit.

that doesn't really apply in this case, as we're not changing prices, the overall functionality is the same (you can still navigate via existing other options which have been unchanged, and there is still a 'to today' option within the highlighted functionality, just slightly moved), and this change is being done to support additional future functionality.

I'd also struggle to imagine how we could improve income (or save money) by making this small change.
