I would wager that it's possible the Devs and Community Reps were told NOT to reply to these or they simply don't have an answer for you. They are not the owners of the company after all, they just work there. I'm sure they don't get to call absolutely all the shots, most companies don't really work that way. They usually have a designated higher up who wouldn't have to be the one to deal with angry customers, but gets to tell them what needs to be done according to another who is higher up than them.
And no, I don't have any actual proof of that, it was just a bit of logic to me. I could certainly be wrong, but it seems likely. It's a controversial subject obviously, and chances are either way, answer or no answer, the threads and posts about it won't stop. Either way they are fueling the flames.

Do what you will though. It is the forums after all.
