There we go again with the "time away from something" based purely on a schedule no one here knows how it's being managed. And that's the keyword here: how. If the argument is "they have enough to do", then where is the precedence to back that up. We only the "what" of it and that's it. Same goes for the other side of the argument that "time away from something". If you don't even know what that something is, how can someone postulate that would be a negative for SE or the playerbase?

At least, when it comes to explaining why something can't be done from the dev side, Yoshida and co explain the reason. I haven't seen a GM explaining why they can't do other things to set precedence over why we can't ask/suggest what else they could be doing. But if there is, pleae point me towards that reference.
