You’re getting actual blind spot detection built in though, so you won’t need to do that anymore.
You are only hearing from a very vocal minority about wanting the rear-facing camera on top. Just like there was a very vocal minority complaining about the loss of the battery indicator in the center of the IC under v7, or the hiding of the icon bar on v8 (ok, that was a terrible idea).I could give Tesla a free pass if only a handful of owners were putting the rear-facing camera on the top. But, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Nor on AP1Not on pre autopilot cars we're not! And yes I am among those that likes to run my reverse camera in the top half of the screen when in City traffic.
You're not serious, are you? You really use the camera to check your blind spots? Too much effort to turn your head or do a side-view mirror lean?You’re getting actual blind spot detection built in though, so you won’t need to do that anymore.

Good design involves giving people what they need, not what they say they want. Henry Ford said if he gave people what they said they wanted he would have built a faster horse.
Remember the early days of Windows when everyone was creating horrible desktop themes just because the interface allowed them to? Let the professionals do their job. If it turns out they can't do it well they won't be employed very long.
By your logic, you are not allowed to criticize the hiding of the icon bar on v8 as a "terrible idea," because Tesla knows better than you do about what your needs are.You are only hearing from a very vocal minority about wanting the rear-facing camera on top.

I applaud Tesla for v9 and can't wait to get it here in Europe
Why disable the ability to use two apps simulatenously or place apps on top, though? What is the benefit of removing that feature in general?

I could go on and on, but this practice is standard for the industry.
Change is difficult for many. That doesn't mean change is a bad thing.
Listen, outside of the rear-facing camera debate, what we're saying here is that configurability by the owner is what's preferred by the largest proportion of users. Simple logic.Simply put - It's just more intuitive that way.
...It's like when they re-build your local grocery store. As an old customer you get a bit frustrated the first time you enter the new and re-built store because the milk is not where it used to be, the magazines are in a different spot etc. But to a new customer the new layout is more logic from a general point of view...
But they haven't removed or decluttered anything. Prior to v9 you could have the map up top and an app below. Or the map below and an app on top.
All they have done is remove the functionality to move the app to either the top half or the bottom half of the screen. How is that making it cleaner or less cluttered?

In your grocery store analogy, what v9 has done is to make us shop at separate stores for our produce, dairy, and meat. The UI inflexibility has removed display options that many owners used. It's not simple rearrangement.
From a safety standpoint, users that used to have two non-NAV apps on the screen (say, TeslaWaze and music) are now forced to interact with the screen to continually switch between apps in the static bottom screen.
The unifying characteristic of the Tesla UI across all vehicles should be its flexibility and ability to deliver to a wider range of customer preferences. That marvelous screen is BUILT to allow this; otherwise, why not just populate the dash with a bunch of old-school buttons and knobs?
