How does this have anything to do with "impact driven development"?

I think the person is either misunderstanding the purpose of the indicator or has PTSD from seeing that kind of highlights somewhere else. This only highlights what the user has installed recently so that they can find where in the menu was it added. It's tied to user action, not the developers of the app doing any update or anything like this..

Yeah I agree.

I also don't like the green dots and new tags - I do see how it is reminiscent of the bloat on Windows start menus even if the motivation is very different. But if I recall they can be turned off so I'd don't see the issue.

I'm also not a fan of someone donating €100 and then saying "I'll donate another €100 if you remove this feature".
