Thanks @Kanad Dagaonkar - overall, I am not too phased by this. I am always for simplifications and, more importantly, optimization and performance improvements.
As long as, like you mentioned, things behind the scene does not break, like JQL, automations/flows, etc, I am happy with the summary > title change as well. Luckily for us, we do not use too many add ons but I do see where that can cause some frustration with this.

Update: We're rolling "Summary" back
Hi everyone — an update, and a genuine thank you.
When we introduced the new create experience, we renamed theSummaryfield toTitle— and this thread was one of the clearest signals that we hadn't got it right. You told us it broke muscle memory, clashed with your docs, training, and customized screens, and didn't line up with the API and JQL (which still usesummary). We read all of it.
So we've started rolling"Summary" backas the field name. It's a gradual rollout, so you'll see the label revert automatically as it reaches your site over the coming weeks — nothing for you to do.

Hi. Just another slightly off-topic RE App updates like this.
I went to Admin > Apps > Platform experiences > App updates to find this so I can be notified when the change rolls out to us. It was hard to find - but for anyone that is curious, it is called "Create work items faster with a modernized experience"
@Kanad Dagaonkar I would suggest when things like this are updating and posted on the community forum, you share the item under App updates so we can look out for it
