I've come to accept that it's just a cost cutting measure for larger tech companies, why offer users an option when you don't need to? It costs extra to document, test and offer support for.

I can't really think of any software from a major tech company that I use frequently and that's been updated to give me _more_ toggles to customize the app. It's always to take things away.

Exactly.

For example on a small company we had one user that needed RTL support, this ment we create backend code to store his perferences, front end code to add UI for it and testing the feature. We implemented because for a small company each user is important where big companies or projects(Firefox,GNOME will force this minorities to go elsewhere)

Uhm, there are literally hundreds of millions of people in the world that use RTL languages.

For mainstream, global software this is not a niche feature but a core requirement.

It depends on whether you're talking about tools or appliances. Visual studio, Intellij, AWS etc. are constantly adding features.

Appliances shed the sharp corners.

Apple actually does really well at this where it matters. Their accessibility settings allow a huge amount of customization for making the devices easier to use for disabled people. They just don't have android rom style settings like changing the unlock screen to swipe down rather than up or turning the battery indicator in to a circle.

Configurability matters in a lot more cases than just accessibility.

example: set Spotify to be the default music app.

Or the ability to change your system apps.
