In reply to Cavalary.

How do you propose, without telemetry, to see a valid picture of how people are using WordPress? Telemetry wouldn't tell you everything, but I imagine it might tell you some things you otherwise might not have known.

Why should WordPress move in one direction versus another? Because of gut instinct, simply because, competitors, it's trendy?

I'd like to see some data and research that explains why WordPress needs to move in a certain direction with certain features.
