I'm sorry, but what should just. be a _progressive enhancement_ in this case completely ruins the user experience for me. However, I'm probably not your target audience, I'm just commenting on this trend in general.

It literally is a progressive enhancement, so I'm not sure what your point is.

There's clearly bugs where it's enabled where it shouldn't be, and that's certainly an issue, but the comments here make it clear that it gets disabled automatically on lower-end devices.
