Hi respected Kevindel1506,
Thanks for your valuable feedback and sharing updates with us and I really appreciate your effort and your precious time doing.
And I appreciate your kind words.
I searched a lot, but currently Microsoft didn't publish any official article about these changes.
As Microsoft is keeping their attention through the feedback mechanisms, so, I request you, please send your feedback via this link: Microsoft Team feedback portal, this is the platform to let related developer team hear from you.
If you can truly understand the current situation and my explanation about feature request mechanism, I would like to request you to provide your valuable vote/ feedback under the reply (pictured below), so that the other user can easily find this thread from your valuable vote under the reply mor users can submit the valuable unique suggestion on feedback portal via using this thread.
If there is any issue related with the Office applications in the future, please feel free to post back in this community.
We will be here for help.
Have a good day and stay safe 😊
Best wishes
Waqas Muhammad
