I think a lot of it is people are just adverse to change.
Changing anything is a big hassle.
Some people have real problems with change.
I fear this will be another unladen swallow, it is not for lack of trying, rather the resistance to change.
Sounds more like a story of change management with people not changing their way.
It's not technically hard to change that - it's hard because the service now has millions of users who expect it to work the way it does.

Getting users to switch from an ingrained habit is hard. I wouldn't write things off so fast.
People hate change a lot more than they hate inefficiency!
Possibly it's because it's hard to get things right the first time, but sometimes it's better than the old way so there's a big shift to it, and once we know a better way it's hard to shift people to the better thing because the old thing was just good enough.Come to think of it, this probably applies to any product.
