Why? What would be nice about that? Just having someone tell you that they heard you? Do you honestly think they haven't heard what some of the folks here are saying? Of course they have.

I suspect that they're making decisions based off of data. They know, for instance, how many players are actually using shove as a bonus action, and they're factoring that into the balance of the game without having to rely on Mr.-Forum-Resident-Kruger to explain how it's "objectively" wrong.

Not to mention, if they say, "We hear people saying A, B, and C," suddenly, all the folks screaming D are going to lose to their minds.

Normally, I think open communication is great, but not in this case. Not when someone is being asked to acknowledge the select few folks who keep calling them incompetent writers and incapable coders. It's not even worth addressing that crowd, in my opinion.
