> but very much needed

We've never recovered from there. Addon functionality is strictly worse, and nothing that was gained is something I feel is a net positive in my life. It's nice that the engineers feel better, but as a user it was absolutely a bad choice that was never recovered from. Honestly, for folks creating a product this attitude is unacceptable.

Security and convenience are often at odds. Imagine how much "better" things would be if we didn't have any security requirements.
