I agree, he has already shown that he does not respect his patrons: just look at the results of the survey a few months ago about Sophia's new appearance.But admitting this is not enough, if he truly respected his patrons and wanted to complete the game, he would have tried to find a solution to these problems, such as ending the game with the main characters and putting the less popular ones at the DLC or ending the game and starting a new one with Dylan or Ellie as the MC. But now all he is doing is just milking his patrons.
Expecting him to start doing things the way they should be done is therefore sheer illusion imho.
