hm, maybe? but seems like a weird tradeoff to make UX actively worse just for that - especially since the thinking tokens are still there in the API responses anyway, just hidden in the UI. I think it's more likely they're just betting most people don't care about the intermediate steps and want faster responses, which tbh tracks with how most product teams think about 'simplification'. though it does feel short-sighted when the whole point of using these tools is trust and verification
