This doesn't help much, since antifeatures are rarely described as such (or even at all) in release notes.

What would be more helpful would be the ability to revert to previous versions (can't speak to Android, but this is certainly missing in iOS).

Android can sort-of do it. It's often possible to downgrade without losing data if the application signature hasn't been tampered with.
