We’ve seen this not so long ago with the “hold space to move cursor” trick in iOS, too. “Where have you been all my life” years down the road doesn’t feel like a good UI strategy.

This feels different to me than “hey, there’s an arrow in the FedEx logo” (smile in the Amazon logo, bear in the Toblerone logo, whatever). Too many things end up feeling like Easter eggs, even though there is a long gradient between an Easter egg and something truly crucial.

It would be like your shortcuts drawer, but displayed as a stripe with only the shortcut related to the used function/feature/tool. And you can count number of uses, to suggest shortcuts that are valuable to learn. :-)
