I don't want to be uncivil, but you just don't get it.

It doesn't matter whether you don't think it matters at all.  It
matters how the community as a whole feels about it.  There are a lot
of people within the community as a whole who wanted it back.
Apparently a majority.

If the answer is "This is dumb, how come there's so much of a
community uproar about it?", then you're asking the wrong question.
