Part of the justification for removing computational addons is it allows them to create a more diverse range of encounters and levels the playfield for new or casual players who may not know where to get or how to configure the suite of addons used today by high end raiders, Mythic+ pumpers or ranked PVP veterans. After trying to move away slowly, they have gone into alpha testing for Midnight swinging wildly in the other direction, turning off many functions that most of the well know addons rely on — the most significant of these is the use of ‘secret’ containers that will display parses of data sent from the Blizzard servers instead of it being processed from the combat log in addons on the client device. One of the key attributes of a scream test is that you have to be able to turn the function back on if someone does scream for a valid reason, but that assumes you control the service to be able to turn it back on.
