That meme does not apply here. Saying "it's not a bug, it's a feature" is when software developers UNINTENTIONALLY create a error in the software, and try to pass it off as a new feature. In this case, they very much intended to make the change. They provided an explanation as to why they implemented that change; specifically to give the users the ability to define there own shortcuts, and to not interfere with browser/extension shortcuts. (Both of which seem very reasonable to me.)
Seriously, folks. Let's reserve the woke comments like "tone deaf" for serious issues like social injustice, and not browser extensions.
