I think I've clicked that button once in maybe 15 years. IMO it's useless and I'm surprised it has taken them this long to do something about it. I wonder what the click stats for that one button are.

It's probably something to do with the user feeling like they have a choice or something, even if it's a meaningless choice.

Like when at work and you present a bad idea next to the idea you want people to pick so they feel included in the decision process.

This is a risky tactic, specially if the bad idea sounds compelling enough to dim-witted people
