While I doubt HT cares whether we like it or not, I do suspect it will lead to some departures.... no idea how many, if any.
I participate mostly in winter months when weather leaves F'all else to do but play computer games. Not a lot of fun right now.
One thing that those of us who have been here awhile - like you, Busher! - is that we adapt. I was fine with the way radar was. I'll be fine with the way radar is or becomes. Heck, I was one of the people who argued for no-icons.
The players are stronger than the radar settings.
