Classic tactic, approve one thing, then slowly make amends to something that would not be approved. If it's gradual then each change is a minor adjustment so they don't need to seek re approval or notify anyone.

I recall reading an ex oracle engineer say that the code base is basically spaghetti. Not only that, but you basically have to be lucky to get your pr in, as due to said spaghetti, there is a high chance that it will be broken by the pr merged before yours.

I feel like those platform ideas came initially from people who wanted to build something cool. Something people would use. The ads were a side effect of being part of the tech company.
