People complain when the AI crap is forced on them and people complain when it isn't.

Likely they are different people, very little overlap, if any.

Even if this is the case, it's still probably a very ungrateful role to be the product manager for a widely used app like this.

The problem is that such a simple tool doesn’t need a product manager.

If it has a product manager then they will inevitably need to justify their role by finding things to do.

It “just” needs some minimal maintenance to ensure the same simple functionality and UI is maintained as the OS develops.

Right, it's not about hypocrisy, just that we collectively have to hear complaining no matter what.
