That's right. But what all those platforms have in common is that they consist of multiple pages, and their logo offers a common shortcut to main. The justification to remove the link was that this navigation function is not needed in the Query builder. I also thought that resetting the current view could also be an unwanted consequence here, as we cannot know if this would match the users' expectations. (Plus, the reload browser button is also available if that's what they aim for.) After exploring a bit more, I'd say we can keep the link: this is what the Query Service does, so that might answer the question about what users might expect. I also wasn't sure about removing the ability to open the QB in new tabs from users, which is a good point. All in all, I believe the link can stay.
