TL;DR: Many pitchforks resulted in some change in a) policy, and b) language to better explain and justify it all.

Ultimately, it's all a lot more acceptable and understandable what the motivations are, but most people wont see this because people don't put enough emphasis on when there's a positive end result, and only focus on when negatives happen.

"Oh but the negative shouldn't have happened in the first place" is often the argument in response to that, but I believe that's only valid if the human element in decision making is completely removed.

If anyone from Plex GmbH and/or Plex Inc see this, well done for the update!
