I can think of very few things, but I guess the biggest pro-user thing they are still doing is that even if you have an ancient circa-2006 YT account for whatever reason, and you haven't migrated it yet, you can still to this day log in and migrate it to a Google Account. This was pointed out in a video SalC1 made criticizing Mojang and Microsoft for not doing the same thing with Minecraft account migrations. For whatever reason, they put a time limit on migration, and if you didn't do it by the deadline your account is permanently inaccessible. It's even worse compared to YT because you wouldn't have paid any money for YT in 2006, but Minecraft is a game you have to pay money for. It's quite sad to see an instance where Mojang manages to do worse than YT, and a good indication of the direction Microsoft have taken the game in.
And you get no compensation if you didn't migrate your account, so effectively, the $20-$30 you spent on the game has just been permanently stolen from you with no recourse. That's why it put a smile on my face to see that Valve accepted a Steam refund for Battlefield 6 after EA removed significant features, and why I absolutely detest people who seem far too eager to jump in to defend the multibillion dollar corporation. As it stands, corporations have way too much power over consumers.
