I'm not lying, I never said "more users" is my top request. 😀 (Not that I'm against more users.)
And there are a number of other developers who have been asking for other things (and my impression is some of them left the ecosystem when they realized they are not going to be prioritized/happen).
What I'm saying is that you listen to a specific type of developers. You reward a specific type of apps. And this creates a feedback loop where "the top dev request is more users".
Here's an other metric. Check the number of comments in FIP proposals. There are proposals with significant engagement that never got prioritized.
There's also a constant feeling (may be personal pov) that important decisions are made in backchannels. It may be convenient, or more efficient, I'm not judging, but there is no way to hold a discussion when one of the participants has the argument-to-end-all-discussions "this is what devs want".
I can go on, for example, how the app has been prioritized as a platform vs the protocol, or the wallet has been prioritized over the rest of the app.
But the bottom line is that imho, you have created the environment (technical, devs, etc) that reflects what you believe is the way forward, i.e. large distribution.
And all this is to explain why "this is what devs want" triggers me. 1 reply

a dev feedback survey goes out every 6 weeks to hundreds of devs (you're on the list too), we do dev calls every 2 weeks where anyone can participate and ask questions, im messaging with dozens of devs daily, calls with multiple devs each day, etc
i feel we have a strong pulse on what devs are asking for, of course not everyone is going to say the exact same thing but more user growth is the #1 response by a long shot from a wide variety of devs (VC funded, independent, gaming, defi, ones that left, ones that want to join, you name it)
