Your very last words describe everything that's wrong with corporations. It's all about money and they don't care about the user's experience.  There probably is or will be a higher cost version of online that includes some of what they took away.  I feel the loss of much more than just configurable statements.

     We are in a subscription-based economy and if you want more options, even basic ones that are borderline necessary, you're gonna have to pay for it.  Every month/year.  Forever.  I wish I could go back to the desktop version as it was the best! Jerry, the best!
