"We replaced Snap to improve multitasking, reduce memory use, improve overall speed, and free up resources going forward for bigger things."
So I guess it lowers the chance of PiP too, since it would eat up a similar amount of resources as snap. :/
I'm sure MS had solid data on how few people actually used Snap, but it's still a bummer for those folks.
Yeah I really don't think telemetry should be the defining point of their user experience. If they're cutting everything that is only used by a minority, they're just reducing the experience to the common denominator. But removing everything that stands out leaves you only with the bland mean value.
Whenever they're cutting a feature, they're losing the good will of some of their customers. That's eroding their user base little by little, instead of expanding it.
