I think biggest problem is: not killing enough features. It goes let's try that stuff or some customer "really really needs this" but then no one uses that feature for 2 years. If I would have some PM that looks into stats and kills not used stuff it would be better.

Unfortunately mostly it looks that removing feature is negative value, firstly you already spend time/money building it, second removing is not free where leaving feature there seems like it is free. It is hard to explain that application maintenance costs more when we have bs features in code.

Removing a feature can be a really negative experience for the users. If literally no one uses it, then that's ok, but if even just 0.01% use it, then removing it can break their faith in the product.

If instead you can spin the feature out into a plug-in/extension and possibly even open-source it, you'll do much better by your users.
