Likely, but not sure whether that applies as a sufficient reason for these statements.
I think it's rather that the vast (!) majority of your (and other modeler makers) customers is of the home noodling kind, pretty much never playing live and possibly also not being exactly active in doing original music. Playing along with their favourite YT backings of iconic players and nailing those tones as closely as possible is all they want.
Yes, I know that this is a pretty simplified view, but I'd bet it's not too far from reality.
And before anyone starts getting at me: There's absolutely nothing wrong with that at all! It's not my thing, but who knows, if I hadn't chosen to also make this my "career" (which I perhaps wouldn't even do again), I might just be doing the same kinda thing.
Whatever, I think this is why so many people are asking for yet another amp model, regardless whether they already have 7 very similar ones at their disposal. It's also why so little people are asking for, say, global blocks or other things not adding to your sound arsenal but rather adressing issues arising in live context. If I was never playing live, I'd possibly never ask for global blocks. And if all I wanted was to sound like Blackmore on "Deep Purple in Rock", I'd likely never ask for modulators and synth-alike filters, either.
I guess that might be the main reasons for comments such as these. And while it's also making me go "my-oh-my" myself, I guess it's still something you gotta deal with, especially in case you're a company interested in at least sort of maximizing profit.
