In what universe does it make sense to you that Adobe does have someone monitoring Feature Requests, yet a sensible and likely fairly easy request (this feature already exists in AE, so they have the code for it already) is ignored for ten years?
That's just not sufficient evidence to support your conclusion. At best, you could say that the Feature Request system has thus far been unsuccessful in getting this feature implemented.
so either those tallies exist or they don't. If they exist, they aren't being used effectively.
That may be. But to draw that conclusion, one would need to know those tallies.
I don't. But since you're making the claim, I have to conclude that you do. So again I ask...mind sharing?
