Yeah if anything I've always had the opposite problem with my FW13 (12th gen Intel era) - removing the expansion cards is a pain in the ass with how tight it is. Curious if it got looser over time.

Regardless, glad to see they're just outright redesigned the expansion card mechanism, hopefully this stops issues on both ends of the spectrum.

Indeed, me too! I try to show my coworkers the cool expansion card system and end up embarrassing myself, struggling to remove the card for like 10 seconds.

Same experience here.

I've already ripped my thumb while trying to remove a card.

Now I use the back of iFixit's Jimmy to push them out.
