I've got two off the top of my head:

First is that the design of the USB drives needing to be oriented up or down was the result of a minor cost cutting choice. The inventor regrets it because it wouldn't been easy made so that USB drives were reversible.

Second is the abundance of pointless SEO stuff on recipe pages. It would be a cool opportunity for the creator to add a personal touch to the recipe page beneath the recipe, but they pop in first along with ads and suggested links. And they're so frustrating to navigate that they had to incorporate a 'jump to recipe' button.

The "I CAN ONLY BUY THIS OFFICIALLY LICENSED FOOTBALL GAME BECAUSE I MUST HAVE UP TO DATE REAL PRO STATISTICS" brainworms make it unnecessary for EA to do much year by year to keep printing money. They remove features some years and the sports hogs keep gobbling it up.
