Last but not least, one of many "please gib feedback", even though they completely ignore it.
The things aren't mutually exclusive. They might have decided that it was both restrictive to them and negative or neutral to player enjoyment, so they decided to get rid of it, whereas they might not choose to change a restrictive but popular thing.

And listening to feedback doesn't mean they have to change it just because some people don't like it, because maybe they got positive feedback too. As a casual SAM player I can't even see the attachment to it and I don't miss it at all. It was just an extra button to press every time before using a second button, which seemed pointless, and I don't get why it's held up as some epitome of bad changes to the game.
