Beta 2 Removed Digital Assistant Corner Gesture WHY?

[0vermind]

Are you mother effing kidding me? Why was this removed? Use the power key? No. Absolutely not. Holding down power is suppose to present me with Reboot and Shutdown. I changed my grip and hold down the key when I want to shutdown my phone. I don't want to change my grip and get my thumb over there for Assistant when I had a quick, simple, and easy corner gesture. Long press for circle search, swipe diagonal for assistant, it was simple, it made sense. This power key nonsense is just that, nonsense. There's no reason for this to have been removed. 

Now I have to download a 3rd party GD app to add back yet another feature that you remove. I'm literally fuming. 

Samsung, you're making all the wrong moves. You're not giving us choices. I want choices. Let me pick, if I want to move the assistant to the power key, then I will do that. But I don't want that. So why do you take that option away from me? I'm a die-hard Samsung fan, or was. I washer and dryers, tvs, monitors - everything has me rethinking our relationship. I don't trust you. The power key change is at the bottom of a long list of reasons why I am upset. My voice resonates and matches the hundreds / thousands of others in Reddit about One UI 7.

One Handed Operation:
Please don't tell me to use this. I already tried it and it ruins Android back gestures. It performs an immediate back action with no back preview on hold, and it doesn't actually allow corner gestures. God I'm p.i.s.s.e.d. Samsung.

100% agree. Without the corner gesture, there isnt a single other way of activating the assistant that's actually convenient or intuitive. Please bring this feature back, there was no reason to remove it in the first place
