I try out most of the new features introduced at Adobe MAX and elsewhere, and I adopt the ones I actually need. But in Acrobat, there is no way whatsoever to get rid of the garish pink-and-purple "Ask AI Assistant" button. And in Illustrator, if my cursor overlaps the Turntable button in the Properties panel by even one pixel, a huge tooltip appears and covers up the numeric fields.*1 (I design UIs for medical devices, and to me this looks close to a bug.)
As the original poster says, what matters most is that advanced users be able to customize.
*1 For the record: this happens on 30.7 with both "Show Tool Tips" and "Show Rich Tool Tips" turned off in Preferences > General, so it is not something the user can opt out of today.
I completely agree with the original poster.
