There are points?

#4This strategy is how I imagine the "least painful" transition from init to systemd in a distro would go: someone would make the change, tell everyone to update, and then ask if anyone noticed.

#5Well, some of us connoisseurs we're prepared for this change since 2013:

#6Interesting idea, I guess a tech comparison would be revamping the server side code considerably but not making an announcement so users wouldn't think they had to be on the lookout for bugs / quirks that weren't originally present. If you test well you could 100% overhaul the back end with not a single end user the wiser. I suppose if you announced a "major overhaul" scheduled for some time then users may be wary or hesitant to engage with the platform thinking hat they should expect intermittent outages or broken features.

#7I don't remember new Pepsi, but new Coke had a huge backslash which lead to pulling the product off the market, reversing back to original formula. And if I remember correctly, this original Coke, dubbed Coca-Cola Classic saw much better sales than the same coke did before that. Making people wonder if the new coke fiasco wasn't intentional.

#8I'm fairly certain this change came to Canada first but unlike the USA, it was announced. Kraft launched a new version of Kraft Dinner (what you Yanks call "Mac and Cheese") with the preservatives replaced by natural things last year. I thought it tasted fine and was happy that it's even a little healthier.

#9... and this is why people with severe allergies always always always read the ingredients list, even if the packaging has not changed. And always carry emergency medication.

They didn't actually use the original formula. They used the opportunity to switch from Cane sugar to Corn Syrup. Since people didn't have the ability to taste the difference any more, no one noticed. This let them cut the cost of a major ingredient which then translated into profit. They gained a LOT more from the failed product.
