I only updated because I got a new watch and it forced me to update to iOS 17. Losing MDC/KFD and JIT wasn’t worth it
MDC/KFD allowed for a lot of cool jailbreak like tweaks like theming with notifications and no shortcuts banner, dynamic island and iPhone X gestures on older devices, up to 10 apps sideloaded on a free developer account ( up from 3 by default) and a lot of other cool things. Here’s a list of most thing you could do with MDC and KFD
JIT allows for a lot of cool stuff like running Minecraft Java edition, emulating Wii and PS2 games and other stuff. JIT isn’t gone from iOS 17, but Apple changes the way to get it, so people need to reverse engineer it again.
