i do not care much about linux (though a very good OS!)
none the less i get your argument, b/c the same holds true for day/night cycle (which i care a lot about). actually even more so b/c this feature will never make it to D:OS - not even in the enhanced edition.
BUT they were very vocal in terms of what/why/who/etc.
they did not just skip a feature, they told us their reasons. and this i do very much appreciate and - at least for me - calms the waves very much, b/c: of course: do not promise what cannot be kept; but on the other hand: the first who can forecast/predict the future: please, apply for the job! things change and shit happens. thats life after all and not some kind of computer rpg ...
also in the linux case: they will deliver. slightly different and certainly not on time (but hey ... they are larian. they have their own reckoning of time and date

) but you will get it. which kind of counters your argument.
