Post-game good move feedback - useless

Why is the post game summary now showing good moves instead of poor ones? In a 40 move game, I don't care if I made 20 excellent and 18 good moves. It's the mistakes that actually make a difference, whether that's an explanation for why I lost, or a reason to look more closely at a game that I won. A useful feature has turned into a pointless one.

They know that the bad moves are the ones you mostly want to use Game Review for, so hiding them forces you to use game Review more in order to see if you did make any mistakes. However, with the daily limit of one review without a Platinum or Diamond account, you’re going to have to pay real money in order to see the bad moves you made. Meanwhile, the quick analysis feature still shows you the quality of some of the moves you made, meaning that it’s still *technically* working.
Chess.com is a company. They care about what makes them the most money. And the change you mentioned is bound to make them more money.

I expect that this change is aimed at people rated below 800. At least could we bring back the old feedback for people rated over say 1500?

I have no doubt this will make no difference, but it's having the opposite effect on me. Review is useful as a learning tool, and often much better for progression (I'm sitting around 1500) when you can see that a win was lucky. If I can't see mistakes, I don't get any prompt to check anything. I for one will wait for membership to run out and then go to lichess, and put up with a free minor hassle of their analysis board, as I'll be in exactly the same situation of only looking over games when I specifically want to anyway.
