This is why Marketeers make the business decisions and Engineers implement.

You bring problems and challenges to table. You see the headache it may cause and justify as a reason to not deliver.
You would do well in a pre- 1960''s, product oriented, world. But the truth of the matter is everything you mentioned in your post about limitations and justifications for the current status are the problem and nowhere did you yourself mention any of the solutions.

There is a difference between spotting what is wrong and presenting the solution. I never claimed to be able to examine the limitations in resources and re-deploy them in a more efficient way or towards a more customer oriented end.

If anything is out of place, it is your assumption that those providing feedback should also be burdened with drawing up a new business plan.
But in your reality you would claim that anyone who pays for a subscription and comments on the quality of service provided should also have to take it upon themselves to explain to the service provider not just why it doesn't work, but also how to fix to the most detailed level.

This is why engineers are out-earned by Marketeers; You make a mess of things if left to your own devices.
