In its own very odd way this might be considered a benefit.
It actually forces hard decisions and discussion on adding
more buttons to the UI and removing/replacing things if
something more important needs to be added.<br>

I think we should trust our colleagues in UX to make good decisions
for our users and defer to their decisions instead.<br>

This would take more humility than discipline, but it seems like a
better approach overall than having our UI design somehow
bottlenecked on dead-end tech throwing up perf-regression errors in
automation.<br>
