You said removing features. This link is talking about making certain feautures optional and disabled by default, not removing them.

Did you happen to notice the phrase "stripping out code" in the first sentence?

And which features have been removed, as you claim? Removing code is not necessarily removing features. I use GOS and I honestly can't think of a missing feature compared to the stock OS, other than stuff not in AOSP in the first place, like gemini.

Disabled, is removed...

Removed from operation

Don't be ridiculous.
