You are not mistaken indeed. More specifically, I do want to maintain freedom of pushing completely broken code. It's not necessary about popularity, it's about user expectations. And I also don't allocate as much time as I could into things that directly increase popularity. Like, the "install extension from the market place" could have been done almost a month ago, but I still haven't got to it. It's not that I am deliberately pushing back against such improvements, I just don't push them forward to actively.
