I feel you. You seem to be reasonable and empathetic and understand that sometimes priorities change and that an imperfect roadmap can still bring benefits over a hidden one. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who feel entitled to get anything you ever mentioned, even (especially) if they’re getting it for free, and managing those people when they complain is time consuming and drains your sanity. Both of which take your time and energy away from improving the product to all the reasonable people.
