I think what you are writing is a bit besides the point. If someone seriously wants to complain with the intention to improve the game, he should do it in a place where there's actually a chance that his complaint will be read and met, which would be DC's discord, his streams, etc. but certainly not this board, where it very likely won't be read by a member of the team and where he certainly will not get an answer from DC. Trying to change anything by writing here is futile.
To you second point, by now it's pretty much obvious that doesn't want to grow his team beyond what he has. The last real funding goal was set at $25.000 and beyond that nothing was promised. It's his choice and he seems willing to live with the consequence. Just because people give more money doesn't mean that he has to change his way of working.
So sure, people are free to complain about it, but others are just as free to point out that that complaint is out there for almost 3 years now and that the situation won't change. I'd actually say pointing that out is a service, so people don't give DC money because they hope it would increase the speed.
