Most of us have probably already read this, but I think it serves to show how much data and thought goes into some of these decisions.
Often in forums/communities, users state subjective opinions as facts without much information or supporting data. I think it's best to look to what the company is saying directly for insight whenever possible to help form opinions.
"For example, we found that ~3-7% of users (depending on the Google app) swipe to open the App Navigation Drawer - the rest of our users push the hamburger menu to invoke the drawer. This drawer swipe gesture is now overloaded with back and some users will need to adapt to using the hamburger menu. This was a tough choice but given the prolific use of back we optimized for what worked best there."
That's great insight.
