I have a meta question to ask, in threads like these where big products announce new features or big funding I always see commentors lamenting bloated software or it having too many features, not doing the one simple thing you want it to do, etc. To me it seems the only trajectory of developers building products is to add new features, its how we justify keeping ourselves around most of the time. So what my question is is how do you actually expect products to just stop active feature development? Or would you rather a second standalone app to install?

I'm a relatively young developer so I'm hoping to gain some insight from this mindset I see all too often.
