I too am outraged that a product would prioritize its biggest users.

Is the biggest user larger than the combined set of individual users who had asked for (or would benefit from) the same thing? I honestly don't know, but I don't think that things are always as simple as you're implying in a world where we have the collective action problem.

If you’re asking some some kind of abstract moral value sense, I have idea.

If you’re asking whether project leads give more weight to a single, tangible, vocal stakeholder than they do to unknown numbers of anonymous and lightly-engaged stakeholders? Yes.

I mean, yes, demonstrably, the phenomenon you're describing happens. Your previous comment seems pretty sarcastically dismissing the idea that someone could disagree with this being a good thing though, and I was making a counterargument against the underlying opinion that seemed apparent.
