I appreciate that Thegman0492 tried to be more sensible about voicing frustrations in the follow-up reply. That's a step in the right direction, because it's certainly not going to help to post rants or allege problems or falsehoods with no context or constructive attempts to seek help or get answers.
For decades, people have been asking software developers not to work on anything but their preferred fixes or improvements before anything else. For decades, they have also claimed that their complaints, bug reports, or feature requests are being ignored. But that's not the way the world works, and that's not what's happening inside development teams.
Users aren't the ones running the business, facing the competing requests and priorities, confronted with crucial business decisions to be made, confronted with problems or features that can take years to address---all with their livelihoods depending on it. I've run a business and have advised businesses as a professional for decades, including software companies, and I've been a beta tester for a number of game developers. So I understand the reality from the inside. It's not being a sycophant to acknowledge it. It's called being a pragmatist. When you're a pragmatist, you look for ways to work within that reality and find constructive ways to help improve it.
Toward that end, maybe the conversation can shift toward what Pelican suggested, so something constructive can come out of this for those who are frustrated.
