Its still not actually a nightmare because for pretty much every RSS reader you can just past the website URL into the subscribe function and it'll present you with all the feeds provided by that site sourced from <link rel="alternative"> tags. The browser feature was good for reminding people to the existence of RSS feeds but it is not required to solve the purported problem of feeds being hard to find.

Could it be intuitive on mobile? The problem is, how do we make it as simple as scrolling and tapping on the follow button so the user never even has to change apps?

I agree, but apparently that's still too difficult for the mainstream user.
