   I remember 15+ years ago having to remove gigabytes of printer drivers from OSX. This was at a time where “drivers” were a whole, horribly frustrating thing and Apple wanted stuff to “just work.”

   Lots of opinions for sure, but I’m curious how Apple actually tries to decide the cost-benefit of these kinds of things. Obviously they know they need added disk usage and some people will be upset. Do they have a model to estimate or do they just A/B test and see how it goes?

      I have no trouble imagining real-world users being incredibly frustrated when printers don't work out of the box. I have a lot of trouble imagining real-world users being frustrated because Apple left in a checkbox that let them reclaim the disk space for an unwanted feature that existed in the previous version of the OS.
