The inability to hide or collapse unused features creates cognitive overhead. This is a mild personalization gap common in enterprise SaaS platforms that grow their feature surface over time.

Users of a board-centric work platform want more flexibility than the rigid board structure allows, such as free-form text or links that apply across an entire board rather than being confined to specific cells or sections. This reflects a structural limitation of the board metaphor for teams with less structured workflows.
