The point that you're missing is where choosing to go in a direction that causes the loss of helpful features is a mistake to begin with.

I'd imagine there's a version in development at all times, for something as pervasive as windows.
It's possible that support for features may be dropped as technology changes, such as floppy disks going obsolete. It doesn't make sense, however, to drop a feature that is currently used and well-liked.

A developer has an idea. They or a hired programmer write a series of conditional instructions for a computer to carry out that best matches the desired functionality of the "program," and the developer iterates on those instructions until the resultant program reflects the developer's (or the customer's) vision for it.
Is that the gist of it?

If a company ever has to "bring back" a feature that customers wanted and used, it screwed up. Period. Looking at you, Apple.

They could have kept doing internal testing until the product's functionality was the same, but they chose to release it with missing features. That was a mistake. Was it a developer mistake? Probably not, but it WAS a mistake.
