Yeah same feeling when I was curious. At some point you just release 2.0. You say ok, new version coming! And all your customers are like yay but also oh no. But it works itself out. Because otherwise you wind up with version 1.827377222211c which is the Christmas tree you talk about.

Why not just remove the zones no one uses anymore? Asteroid strike! Why not remove a bunch of features that were added 10 years ago to ameliorate 15 year-old problems that haven't existed in 5 years? Streamline! Get rid of stuff! Make it lean!

Nope, do you like this new ornament? You can buy it for fifteen bucks and it makes this part of the game trivial. We'll patch that later.
