Precisions
According to studies (software cast and standish group), 70% of the features are never or hardly used. (ref 115 best practices) The number of functionalities available in a digital service directly impact the consumption of resources and the environmental footprint, by creating functionalities of little use. These are totally unnecessary sources of environmental debt. The functionalities also increase the volume of the service, which introduces loading delays and additional storage spaces.
