This Pay-to-Taproot output spendable by anyone is a decent example.

Most multisignature behaviors still aren't exposed, its kind of weird. But looking for to taproot making multisignature addresses indistinguishable from other addresses.

There's the general empty space that people shove all sorts of things into. From plain text metadata to encoded messages to derivatives trades.

From my experience that see it as a technical superiority thing. Where if you want to use that functionality you'd be smart enough to know how to use the cli and if you can't then you probably shouldn't be using it. And then are typically met with hostile attitudes saying that if you're that much of a noob and need a GUI then just go use a lite client or something. The white bitcoin core community is very ostracizing and unwelcoming.

Even vitalik has mentioned that this attitude was one of the things that turned him away from bitcoin (along with refusal to evolve features) and launch ethereum.

I’m glad that’s mostly gone from the crypto space, but its because the core maintainers of projects from the first half of the decade either disappear, leave publicly denouncing that attitude, or die.

In the mean time, a lot of people still tinker at their own volition, read technical books, or now learn about blockchain structures in universities, leading to a continual new set of people using blockchains differently or at their fundamental level.
