But countless developers in countless companies have each their own set of frustrations where they sense that something could be improved but don't know what to do with the frustration. Frustrations are a useful symptom but learned helplessness is a terrible thing that can lead to anything from being annoyed to leaving your job to depression. I would argue that the response was in fact a very valuable lesson.

It needs to be so much better that it's worth: changing defaults / what people use now, changing documentation, verifying it works for all projects, ensuring that nobody has use cases that asdf doesn't address, and actually spending time with the decision maker to present your idea. For a larger company that may mean days of work.
