It seems like it often happens that a company makes a bad decision, everybody begs them to fix it, the company sticks to their guns until the complaints die down, then years later the company finally does what everybody was begging for, claiming it as their own idea.<p>Cynically, this looks like a PR strategy: “Our course corrections are always about us improving on our past selves, not anybody else knowing better than us.”<p>I wonder, though, if it either really took them this long to reimplement it, or this long for some political change to enable it, and meanwhile a disconnected PR department was just spinning whatever they had at the time.
