What if we added a social component like "Stories" to this calculator app? (i.postimg.cc)

you're right. perhaps a better example would be YouTube suggesting videos by colour?

I never saw that, that's legitimately funny. I'd love to be in the room when that feature was designed, and the reaction of the developer it was handed too.

Not sure why? Just because you don't use or understand a feature, it does not mean nobody else wants it? Or do you have more insight into that?

I don't. but adding a "feature"(I call it bloat) that doesn't even work properly instead of, say, making search better might be a more sensible thing.
but as a commentor suspects, they might've added this because of black history month
