OP - you are unlikely to get an accurate response picture.
Vocal people who asked for the update will of course be vocal in saying yes.
However, with these types of changes there is always a significant silent majority who love the game, and just keep on playing it.

In answer to your question, I'm not so sure.

Like any company SE have limited resource.
I would have preferred to see this focused on some of the items you suggested, improving actual gameplay, housing etc.
