I'll never understand why companies try to force major changes without giving users the chance to opt out, at least for a while.
Edit: -1 for an uncontroversial personal opinion. The hivemind is strong today.

That's easy. You have some 'product manager' or 'UX lead' who gets hired. They need to make a name for themself, and keeping the old thing going won't do that. So you get a big redesign. There might even be some QA testing to see if the new design is more intuitive. There will rarely if ever be any testing to see if whatever benefit the new design brings, is offset by making existing users relearn the whole thing.

Actually black theme already won me over
Don't get how anyone likes the new UI. I downloaded the regular discord app (I use Aliucord,fortunately still on old UI) real quick and literally could not figure where anything was.
