Voice Enhancer feature deleted in MY22 Ocean?

[ivan & jill]

I have had my new Ocean for just over a month. Most of the changes VW has made compared to my previous 2018 Ocean are, in my view, improvements and I am even beginning to like the new dashboard. However, I cannot understand why the voice enhancer feature (which allows the people in the front seats to speak to passengers in the rear over the van's rear speakers) has gone. There is no mention of it in the new manual or controls for it in the infotainment menu any longer. The microphone for hands-free phone calls and SOS calls must still be there. So why delete this small but very practical feature? Is there a way to add this functionality?

Don't tell me that talking while driving is now also banned on safety grounds
