My question with a lot of these supposed fixes is always: How many people have gotten used to the behaviour already? Often, the "improved" behaviour becomes jarring because users are already trained to expect the prior handling.
It's also a thing to bear in mind with accessibility. Frustration and retraining is often more harmful than the satisfaction of smooth page handling.
I've personally noticed this with the forced tab groups on Chrome mobile - which the latest updates seem to have removed again. Both times, it's more frustrating to retrain for the changed behaviour than to just tolerate it as it is, once you get used to it.
Edit: Of course, that's also a matter of time, as in my example. After a while, people do get used to the change again, so it's more of a short-term inconvenience.
