If you don't understand the relationship between technical debt and enshittification, how the business desire for quick and easy (and marketing friendly, user-as-product)solutions now helps drive intentional degredation, deprication, and abandonment of features later, I don't know what to tell you. This shit has literally happened in Open-Source products.

Enshittification, as a brand-new word, is en vogue, and its "definition", misused as a quick-and-easy way to dismiss @SanctimoniousApe's entirely correct and appropriate linking of it to OP, is itself an example of Platform Degredation.

Enshittification is often consumer-driven. That is to say, "giving the users what they want", only so long as its what the majority will go along with, and leaves-out "edge-cases" that were originally a major feature.

Tired of supporting a feature that doesn't drive profit or has become hard to support or update after years of neglect?

(your original devs, the ones who understand how anything marketting doesn't care about works have probably moved to other positions by this point as well)

Poll the users, ask them if they care about it. The fact the platforms have the data to pick and choose users who don't use said feature is conveniently left-out
