You're in the majority. That's how these product managers make these decisions, they look at the data and if a feature is used <1% of the time they kill it because, they say, they need the interface to be as simple as possible.

The problem with that is a statistical logic one. The majority of people will use a rare <1% feature occasionally. When the feature isn't there the user finally realizes how dumbed down the product is and that it doesn't fit their needs. Even if it fit their need for years it let them down when they needed it most. The PM will respond that it wasn't worth it to have the feature uglyfying the interface for years just so it was available that one time.
