Me too, but this article is clickbait garbage.

Microsoft hasn’t shared what that feedback was but going by how people react every time Copilot shows up somewhere new in Windows 11, I can make a guess.

So the title of the article isn't factual or sourced (most, who just read titles, will assume it because it's in quotes). Is it true? Maybe! But it's just one person's guess and hot take, and they spend paragraphs iterating the same single point over and over.

The actual announcement contains no such reporting of user feedback. Just a few bullet points. The only one salient to this "Microsoft Bad" clickbait is:

As we implement these changes, we're temporarily disabling Ask Copilot on the taskbar to update the new experience and incorporate your feedback.
