Very true. The issue is that each feature request has to compete for available developer time and resources. Features that benefit the most clients at one time (e.g. they get the most requests for it) or features that are mandated (e.g. meaningful use) or features that are for compatibility (e.g. Windows 8 and SQL 2012) will always be nudged to the top.
