Just because they have other means of doing link tracking doesn't mean they aren't using this link proxying to track stuff.

I mean... Sure? They might, or they might not. My point is that pointing to this change as a sign of enshittification doesn't make any sense, because it's not changing anything about how they can track and exploit you. There's nothing there to suggest that this is related to a change for the worse regarding enshittification.

If you want something to point to, take their privacy policy that allows them to collect your usage data and possibly use it for marketing purposes, not a random feature that likely has nothing to do with this.
