Entitlement really doesn't seem to be the best way to think about it. They don't owe you or anyone any type of end result, and like most topics I see discussed here when I've been involved with a couple of them behind the scenes: there is a lot more going on than you think, and issues are not simply black or white.

There's an implicit contract with your users to do right by them, especially with a service that has, no joke, a ton of legitimate, important historical record to it. When you abuse the public trust, you get flak for it. That's a feature, not a bug.
