It's especially bad because the holier-than-thou attitude broke real, commonly-used websites , the Chrome team was made aware of the use cases, and they just didn't care. For example, Chrome tried auto-completing my home address into Expedia for where I'd like to vacation.

So it's not even those "corner case big boring CRM business apps" that had to find workarounds to forced-autocomplete, it's "real" user-facing ones too. Very frustrating.
