Sure, but if you're looking to have a dialog with the corporation about it, bringing specific actionable feedback is going to be met better than petulant foot stomping.

Honey vs vinegar, and all.

If the corporation cared, it wouldn't have introduced the algorithmic feed with little to no usable info in the first place.

If the corporation doesn't care, why are you spending energy complaining about it?

Are you hoping to enact change, or are you just complaining?

Sometimes corporations budge due to outcry (or regulations [1]).

GitHub's "designers" and PMs knew exactly what they were doing and they knew exactly what would happen. They still went ahead with it. No idea why you feel the need to defend them.

[1] The algorithmic feed runs afoul of upcoming EU regulations regarding this crap

In my experience corporations respond more often to bad publicity than they do to actionable feedback in terms of larger changes like this. One big reason is that often they already got that actionable feedback during the planning of this project but decided the business upside was worth it. Bad publicity cuts into the business upside which can change their value calculation.

The actionable feedback is that the old option should still stay available next to the new one.
