Me neither, before I saw the first feathered life-size replicas in dino parks.
And I have to say, they were somehow way more scary than their naked counterparts in my opinion.
So now I am Team Feather!
Well, I am pretty convinced most of the mentioned issues are actually intentional design choices.
Google does want neither the users, nor the app owners to have the best experience, but to control their actions in a way that generates the most revenue for Google.
Prime example for Enshitification.
From Google's point of view, it must not change any of the issues, as everything is working perfectly for them already.
l didn't expect 2026 to not be crazy dogshit.

Have already been since at least two years or so, although maybe on a slightly more limited scale.
The lower mid-range Motorola phone of my gf had a hard-to-disable active wallpaper app that displayed nice pictures, but had a prominent field leading directly to online ads when accidentally pressed (which happened a lot).
Also reactivated itself after each OS update.
Enshitification in progress...
Considering how intentionally malecious the side effects of typical genie-wishes tend to be, the extra electron probably comes to rest in the wishers hypophysis and causes a free radical that leads to a rare sort of cancer that prevents the wisher from falling asleep ever again, so he dies in madness scratching out his own eyes.
0r something similar along that line.
