Thread Responses Greyed Out


Is everyone having this issue,  all responses in a thread are greyed out and attenuated until you click on them? If this is intentional it seems like a step backwards in usability.

Nice to know one can collapse a thread. 
Does that count as a singularity?
Slight correction its collapse all responses so they all grey out and go into preview mode, once you click a response it appears normal.
It’s a really good feature, I use it regularly to quickly scan through responses in a thread. As OP said, one click or tap if on an iPad to see all post.
