> Google released the "Nearby Share" feature a couple weeks ago

...and insisted to bring it to the top of the share menu without a way to disable it.

I don't even think it was malicious intent, like growth hacking or something. It's just a sloppy implementation.

... like Googles camera and photos apps that stopped respecting the accessibility setting not to use haptic feedback and enabled it for some rare and random ui elements, like tilting an image or changing camera modes.

Or how Android 11 new (and random?) background animations during notification bar pull down does not honor disabled animations, another accessibility feature.

... or the new button right next to the screenshot button in the app switcher that just does not appear to do anything? It just makes the app switcher unresponsive until you press the "x"-button. They probably just forgot to add a feature there.

What device are you using? I'm using a OnePlus on Android 11 and it's just one item in the share sheet, nothing special about it. This is likely device-specific

Good point. I didn't think of device differences.

It's a pixel 3a. There it got a full, dedicated column above all regular share sheet items.

I have to scroll past it many times a day, which feels like some form of absurd punishment.
