Can someone explain to me why this is bad?

It's a separate app so you don't have to engage with it if you don't want to

It's helping people to control their experience, which IMO is a good thing

This is also probably helping with the development of the platform in general, if someone has a good UI idea but doesn't have the technical know how to implement it, now they can. They can then test it out, refine it, share it and then maybe it gets added to the main UI. Same with feed algorithms. It makes development more bottom up.

This is a decent outline for how to use AI to improve a service.

A fully optional and separate product to interpret natural language interactions for a non-generative AI.

This seems like an appropriate use of AI.
