I know it’s sometimes informative, but I really hate the popularity of “$x quietly does $y” in headlines.
You want Google to run ads on TV or something? It’s a tiny feature.
Agreed, it’s such a clickbaity tactic - makes it sound like they’re revealing some dark secret Google wanted kept hidden, when in fact it sounds like a small but useful change to improve customer experience, but not something that they would make a big deal out of.

It’s probably more to mean they didn’t make a blog post or a popup dialog or something
But yeah a lot of media headlines and wording tends to make things as sensationalized as possible bc clicks or smth
