It was the empty space that was bothering them.

No it wasn’t because without it the paragraph content below would move up. (It was on mobile so there’s not a lot of space anyway)

Their insistence on the button was a combination of “my application designs are flawless, and should never be questioned”

and

“I read an article 15 years ago that said put a Facebook button on everything, everywhere because Facebook”

It wasn’t even a “ah ha, I got a discount at this cool store” it was a share button on the info page .... it’s like putting a share button on the terms and conditions page. It’s stupid. Nobody wants to share that.
