This sort of decision confounds me. Without being a fly on the wall at Strava HQ it's impossible to know why they would do such a thing (any press releases taken at face value).

This change won't affect most serious users, but it is still a core part of their offering. Sadly it seems that each update just makes the UI less useful and more "share-y".

But without a good alternative, I'll be sticking with Strava for the indefinite future. Hopefully they get back on track and start fixing the long list of bugs that are meaningful to their super-users.
