That's a really dismissive response. Please assume people posting in 5E threads are 5E players.

No, you don't get to have the opinion "to get what I want I need to actively deny others what they want - I'm not satisfied merely by my personal D&D collection being crunch-light, I need the game to actively not cater to other parts of the customer base, only to people like me".
Not without being called out on it for its unreasonable and uncharitable qualities, at least.

It's alright Tony.
When I read about people offering "just do it yourself" it's most often merely a thinly veiled attempt to dismiss and denigrate valid concerns. Since they never have the intention of doing any game design themselves, they don't have to care about grossly underestimating the complexity and difficulty level - the whole point is to sound reasonable while actually just shooting down ideas they themselves dislike without having to say just that.

I'm not entirely sure this is fair to you.... but my honest reflex response is "if he needs to ask, he must have missed the entire point of the discussion".

I might have been unclear - I am the DM

Perhaps I need to tell you how a forum works.
If I start a thread asking people for their ideas on "depth on complexity" rules additions, having a Sacrosanct derail the topic by posting Top Three Reasons This Won't Happen (or some such) is wholly unwelcome, and I politely ask you to go away. Perhaps start a new thread?

You and others keep repeating this assertion, but without ever acknowledging that they (we) do have concerns that changes would affect our games. That "just don't use the parts you don't like" isn't a solution for us that we like. No matter how many times we explain our concerns, you ignore or dismiss them and insist we are just being selfish.
Ironically, your next post talks about

No he didn't and the proof of burden is on you since you made the claim. I remember the surveys and all they talked about was a smaller release schedule which can be anything when you are starting from the assumptions of the 3rd and 4th edition releases.
