yeah, but even so, it’s one of these occasions where an os symbol has been altered to change behaviour without the user’s consent or control

it’s not quite as egregious, but it reminds me of how a lot of desktop apps now just minimise to tray rather than actually ending the process when you click the close button. discord is probably the worst offender for that, since it’s not (that I’m aware) a customisable behaviour

The control center wifi control always worked this way. It wasn't "altered", that is a primary feature of its functionality.

Apple gains nothing from your WiFi re-engaging. But many users do because, as another comment mentioned, people turn it off in control center because their connection is temporarily shit, or more likely just accidentally. Then they get to end of month and they have a monster cell overage.

Someone was using control center wrong (despite it very clearly indicating the use of the button). It's a learning experience.

no, you’re wrong. it started working this way in iOS 11. You can look it up if you like

Control Center was added in iOS 11. Yeah, it didn't exist before then, so sure it "changed" from non-existent to existing.

No, I'm not wrong. I'm actually completely right. Control Center has always been a temporary toggle.

Discords behaviour is customisable (at least on Windows).

Settings > app settings - Window settings > close button - minimize to tray.

Turning this off causes Discord to quit completely when clicking the red X in the top right.
