I think your quoted comment just proves the point. Without community complaint / critical response, there isn’t incentive for the implementer to do the thing the community needs. If you do X for enjoyment and it actively hinders some other group because they needed Y and using personal priorities to rank addressing X instead of Y is an egregious violation of community norms, people will take action to bring down the enjoyability of doing X and raise the enjoyability of doing Y, like complaining about X and thanking you for Y.
