I remember when "Messenger" was called Chat and looked like that. I used to talk to the girls online about their plans for the night while I was in college (LOL). None of the buttons work when you click on Windows 11 and Google Chrome. The Chat does slide up when clicked and back down when clicked.
You have to ask yourself, why would a company leave this here for any other reason than game theory and progression of a master plan? Read opensource code folks. You pay enough attention you see the good in some old, old codebases. Foundational even. Java Servlets even...
