    It sounds like people are grumpy that they’re being shown a feature that they can’t use or don’t want to use,

    That’s the problem right there. They’re trying to sell you a new feature. That’s an ad. Ads have no place in an operating system.

      When does something become an OS feature and when is it an add-on? Consider the use case. If you need to make a backup or restore data from one, by having this as part of the OS it is always available. It’s line having vi installed; it comes with every Linux distro, but a lot of folks use Emacs. It makes sense that this should be a system component.
