Stage 2 of #enshittification is well in progress. The surplus is being shifted away from consumers. chatgpt is already not working on mobile web.
Stage 3, that comes after, will take surplus away from the content producers. They'll have to pay for content (not ads) to be shown

Any significant reason for the change? Or is it just easier for folks to use?

There's this idea that thanks to LLMs reviewing code will become more important than writing code.
It misses the idea that writing code includes reviewing code as a side effect.
For those who only speak "LLM": writing code is like generating your own data on which you train to review code.

Incidentally, this short 4 minute video triggered in me a fundamental insight into why quaternions work: an embedding in a higher-dimensional space with one constraint avoids singularities or discontinuities when representing the embedded space.
