Hi @pluto,
I’m not sure of the exact reason, if there was one incident or a shift over time. My guess is that this is an effort to protect student privacy and anonymity on the project galleries. There are still plenty of sample projects for you to use for inspiration, though.

Featured Projects allowed users only to show their projects and nothing else (besides their first initial of their username or display name I don’t really know). If carefully regulated, there would be no problem with featured projects.
