Broken how? This feels like a good example of a company building and launching something, then watching and responding to how the public/users react to it.

Isn't that more or less what you should do as a company? Build things and then adjust your strategy based on how the market likes or dislikes it?

The problem isn’t that they launched a feature, it’s that they unilaterally removed a feature people were using.

Everyone would have been totally fine with it being behind a toggle, even if on by default.

Broken how?

Broken in the sense that Slack kept going forward even after the complaints kept rolling in. How hard would it have been to pull the latest release?

Every release will get complaints. They have to wait to see if it is more than normal.
