That's a weird take. Default caters for majority users in most cases, so ofc they would be prioritised as it should be.

The current default single click will no longer be default. Development testing tends to focus on the default settings. That means there is a higher risk of a bug slipping through to the users who choose to continue using single click. The situation is unfortunate for those who prefer single click. Not sure why that is a weird take?

Because double-clicking has worked fine for decades despite not being the default. You should relax.

Because you think you should be given priority when you know you're in the minority that's why. Was trying to be subtle about it but ig it didn't come through. I do know how QA works and ik it should be focused for majority first from features to bug fixes. This little change isn't gonna make a big difference anyway given how minor it is so I don't see why this is so much of a concern.

That means there is a higher risk of a bug slipping through to the users who choose to continue using single click.

The same can be said about double-clicking with the old defaults. Which is arguably worse since said bugs will affect more people
