"little used" is a stupid argument from YT. It may be little used on a global scale but vital to some specific groups.

By this reasonning all that will be left on YT would be music and cat videos.

Every feature is useful for some specific group out there. Doesn't mean it needs to remain supported. Here's an example - Youtube used to allow clickable links inside the video. Now it doesn't. That affected many channels, especially those that implemented their own "more like this" feature manually.

You have to make hard choices sometimes. If this is a feature that only a tiny minority cares about, then the team has to pull the plug on it.
