Well, that requires knowledge of C. That already excludes like 98% of the user base or so, or perhaps 90%.

Also, even aside from this, if a majority wants feature xyz but you don't like that, what can you do? It is a constant time investment to convince a majority that what they want may not be great.

You make it sound as if the only bottleneck is lack of developers. I think there are many more bottlenecks than merely lack of developers.
