So who did SE hear from, that guided them into removing it?

We can look at the interview where they discussed the VPR changes to glean some insight here.

They didn't actually follow any feedback there, they just identified it as a potential point of stress for the players and have made the decision to remove it, with or without feedback.

I'd wager that some of their other decisions also followed the same process. Kaiten removal, PLD rework, BLM systems rework, etc. Nobody really asked for any of those, but they all include the removal of a point(s) of failure that could stress people out.
