So they’re disabling Wise/Payoneer because they can’t implement some optional features on top of it? Why not just gate the features based on the payout platform instead?

Too expensive to implement (in developer salary), and AI can't code it in five minutes and ship it yesterday?

Or maybe that's simply their public-facing reason.

They are a small company, yeah, but that also means they are extremely agile, and this feels like the kind of a feature that would take me (a single developer) maybe a couple days to implement.

I mean, if spending 16 hours to implement a future proofing feature is not acceptable, I don't know what is.
