They could have released it to personal accounts? At the rate they have embraced and catastrophically abandoned other vastly more fundamental features (packrat? Photos?) This seems far more easier to roll out slowly. Seems more like they've lost their way.

And I will never ever forgive y'all for what you did with mailbox! (Like seriously what did they do?)

Enterprise customers pay more money to have more features with checkboxes in the feature matrix. Telling them they don't get a feature because their needs are too complicated is a tough sell. (something, something, opens up opportunities for low-end disruption, something, something)

Google does it all the time with GSuite. I doubt customers want buggy features. Beta testing new functionality on your free/personal user accounts before rolling it out to larger business customers is pretty standard.
