Frustrating to get such a definitive “not going to change it” response like that. At least with a company like Google they wouldn’t even bother responding. Why even bother offering to accept feedback if they’re not willing to take it to heart? Maybe it’s just an attempt to placate their users. I don’t see why they would have an issue offering some type of preference setting or inline selection for this. What would be the harm in allowing users to so choose?

Seems like it’s becoming another dark pattern whereby developers are forcing their decisions on users a la Chrome not allowing developers to disable the browsers built-in autofill.

Spotify were also definitely not going to bring the Android widget back after removing it. A storm of complaints and cancellations - including mine - later and they changed their minds.

I found other options in the mean time; I didn't resubscribe my 10 year old family sub.

There won't be the same amount of choice re Slack..
