@sinbad Hmm, I'd say that depends on what exactly we're talking about. Many initiatives sure added a lot of friction when keeping backwards compatibility at the same time. But a lot of the work on scalability, performance and reliability has also immensely fortified Unity for the better. When discarding packages not being used, Unity 2022 (which is what I use) is snappier than previous versions have been for a long time, and at least some of that is due to work by such people you refer to.
