As someone who loathes bloat, I prefer the slow release schedule. I think the core books were done well enough that there's no need for splat books any time soon. Adventures and campaign guides, in my opinion. I don't want to see 5E go down the path of Pathfinder (no pun intended) of having a million different books of crunch.
I honestly don't see how people can run out of entertainment so fast with what's available. Home brew is the way to go if you want to do something original. If you don't have time for that, then you probably don't even have time to run a proper adventure path without it feeling very boring and dry. Either way, if you really have that little time, then HOW are you already bored with the game and have ran out of things to do in it given so little time to play it?
People seemed to be so spoiled and want instant gratification and give off the impression that they're actually offended by a "lack of" things given to them by WOTC.
If bloat and endless seas of crunch and numbers and calculus is what you want, there's a game for you already. It's called Pathfinder. You can probably buy a few books, per month, for a few years, to keep you satisfied and your wallet pillaged.
Mechanically I really enjoyed Pathfinder a lot. I just refuse to support them because I find some of their workers to be detestable. I don't think anyone would argue that there are a lot of things Pathfinder must have done right, one of which in my opinion, is to provide lots of options.
I bet most companies only wish they had people longing to buy more of their product. I doubt many of them would use the words "Our customers are offended we don't give them more."
