That’s an excellent point. I see zero reason to believe this story is true. Sounds more like urban legend.

I'm happy to show you the prototype.

I don't know why it was axed, but my best guess is that it aesthetically looked pretty bad, and it was probably a pain to produce at high yields. Also, I can imagine users finding it more confusing than an obvious well-labelled button.
