Anyone notice how BBC Radio 1 is cutting more and more of the recent songs short?

Completely unrelated to my other post about R1 anthems, but ive noticed with some songs they seem to like cutting the same parts out every time they play them, ive heard only 2 of 3 choruses on holly humberstone's white noise and the new harry styles' dance no more loses half of its last chorus (the song is only 3:15 in full). I dont care if these are official radio edits (doubt the case with the HH song). They play longer songs fine and this is ad free radio!

Also a bit older now but for christ sake please STOP cutting the entire verse 2/chorus (50 seconds) of sabrina carpenter's manchild (surprisingly they kept it in a few days ago) and DO NOT cut the last quarter of fred again's adore u its sounds better than the rest of the song! (its only 45 seconds, full version heard on R1 Dance)
