I see in this an attitude that's become increasingly common since the 2010s among developers as well as software companies regardless of open source or proprietary - "We know what's good for you, the end user and we will decide on your behalf." and use this as an excuse to strip out features that had been long available. Firefox is a classic example.
In stark contrast to the previous norm of highly customizable software that catered to both newbies and power users. Right here we see the example of the maintainer unilaterally deciding to strip out a feature that's already been disabled, just because he decided he knows better what KeepassXC users ought to do.
That's a very misleading comparison. When Mozilla (upstream) axes a feature, it's gone permanently and you can't get it back.
Which is not the case here at all, here downstream turns off a feature in the default build, while simultaneously providing the fully featured version in a just as easily installable package.
