When did the developers decide against DFWAB? (Don't Fix What Ain't Broke)

Anyway, back to my opening rant, what is the point of all these changes?
Do they fix something? For me they break things.

Dick,

Back in the 1980s, with DOS, I saw the same thing with many applications: a
new verson would remove something useful or add something useless; mostly
the latter. I decided that they added stuff because the developers figured
out how to do it and decided to add it even if it provided no additional
functionality. I think there are still too many software developers whose
guiding principal is, "If it ain't broke, break it."
