And even though they try to do stuff, there will always be that part of the community who vehemently doesn't like it and will constantly whine while you have a other part of the community who says it's decent or not bad at all. All in all, you can't appease everybody, no mater what SE does.
Though, this is where you have to make a decision based on your target audience.

If we keep using the pizza analogy; this would be something like, you make a pepperoni pizza. But a bunch of vegetarians come along and say they don't like it.

Now, in this case, vegetarians clearly aren't the target audience of a pizza with a meat topping, so how much do you put stock in their feedback to it?

Ideally, if you wanted to be the most popular pizzeria, you'd still make the pepperoni pizza that's aimed towards people who like that kind of pizza. But you'd also offer other pizzas such as margherita, mexican green wave, double cheese etc. So people who don't like pepperoni pizza have things they would like to order.

As opposed to the SE method of dealing with feedback where they make a pepperoni pizza. But then a vegetarian says they don't like it, so then they remove the pepperoni. Then a vegan says they don't like it, so then they remove the cheese. Then someone with celiac's says they don't like it, so then they remove the dough. Meaning that all they're left with is some tomato sauce. It might be really good tomato sauce. But no-one is going to have a satisfying meal just eating a bowl of tomato sauce.
