I would very much love a "feature" to disappear: the silent rewriting of titles in submissions.
Just right now: "The Forgotten Lens" became "The Lens".
Some time ago, someone posted "How I Choose What to Read" (an essay on how he selects books) which became "I Choose What to Read" (must be an angry rant about main stream media shoving fake news into his face).
Unfortunately, the mods have already clarified that this "feature" is here to stay.
