I agree on the business case, but it’s still orthogonal to “how any of the web works”.

It’s how Google’s business works, maybe, but that wasn’t the argument.

It's only an alternative view because Google made it alternative. And made the main view a bloated slow abomination.

That’s irrelevant. I already mentioned that the new view is slow and that’s a fine argument to make.

Arguing that they should maintain multiple views is just ignorant of the world we live in. You will be disappointed further.

No. I'm arguing that it's Google's deliberate choice, and we should be angry about that.

Whether or not a trillion-dollar company with 170 000 employees can afford to maintain two views for a product with 2 billion MAU or make it not suck, now that is really irrelevant.

> Why would they support this view? It makes no financial sense.

that remains to be seen
