From the perspective of "some corporate environments will block your software if it doesn't have this feature", then I suppose I can understand the frustration that users felt. I would argue that there's more nuance, but the feeling is reasonable - I would also be frustrated if a piece of software that I used and loved at work was in danger of being taken away because of the addition of a feature that I didn't want in the first place!
