And the internet as a whole moving away from RSS feeds in general is also not helpful
They only thought they moved away from RSS feeds. A whole bunch of the internet is built on Wordpress which publishes an RSS feed by default at website.url/rss or website.url/feed. Which means a shitload of sites are running feeds even if they don't advertise it (or realize it).
True. But they did make it more difficult to discover RSS feeds by removing all those features.
