Well WOTC only does it because of scandals and dumb ideas wasting t I me and forcing them to their deadline.I mean, isn't that what game companies just do? You don't believe 5e is the reigning champ because of this design process, do you?
What is suggested is not bothering with a survey and just doing it.
WOTC has a bad track record on customer alignment when they force things without public feedback.
