Reminds me of how microsoft office, not having anything new to bring to the table, decide to completely revamp their whole UI passing it for an "update", now everybody has to learn to use word all over again.

That's what I mean when I say there's a superstructure of developers creating unnecessary work just to circulate money.

I see what you mean by the timing and annoyance of such changes/improvements to software. For me (insanely) I end up taking issue with a thing that hasn't changed, years into using it and it not changing, only to realize my muscle memory out-paces itself and I want to do something other than that thing for some time (usually apps on my phone). The overzealous Murphy's Martial Law of "all things must fuck up always - to ensure "right things" go awry).

This is psychosis (for me) above all else though, I am sure.

Consolation(?), better that situation than having a Nexus 5X where Chrome doesn't work at all, nor any Google service, putting me on Firefox (but I went back to FF long term anyway), but making the phone not unGoogled but Google-less (bad sitch for a Google-first phone like Nexus 5X).
