Re: I can't help but wonder...

It started years ago. First they repeat over and over again that users want a simple interface and don't want to be confused, then they push the "minimalist" philosophy and eventually the interfaces are so much dumbed down that the difference in functionality between a PC with a big screen and a tablet becomes negligible. In this way it's easier to push people to the smartphone/tablet environment which increases the earning and provides better user tracking capabilities.
