"Enshittification" is the hip new way of saying "I don't like <thing>," the term is rapidly becoming enshittified.
If the majority of users don't like your update, it's shit.
I should add: many users likely aren't vocal. However this doesn't really count as the people who actually care about the quality of the product will be the ones reporting issues, and this demographic does not always line up with the reviewer demographic.
But that's my point, the term "enshittification" used to mean a very particular kind of thing-people-don't-like. Not just a general "I don't like it."
It'd be like if the term "boring" started being used to signify any kind of disapproval. "Abortion is boring!" People might say. Or "my car keeps leaking oil, it's so boring." "The Supreme Court has turned boring! It's making its decisions based on partisan allegiance rather than the law!"
"Boring" would lose its original specific meaning in this scenario. It was a useful meaning, so I would find that rather unfortunate.
