Jokes aside, most of the excuses the non-supporters are bringing up have been reused again and again. “Scratch Team is too small” then they need to find a way to expand. As said earlier, if a person doesn't get help to pay their debts, one disaster bankrupts them for life. “Too complex” Scratch is for all types of people, not just beginners.

And how will they provide the new team member's FUNDS? They are a nonprofit. It's like saying “Buy a house if you can't get a home”.

Scratch is AIMED for beginners.

Scratch Team needs to find a way to convince big tech companies to lend them their best engineers, or at least gather more resources without angering the community. When you start hosting millions of projects worldwide, you are forced to expand, you cannot stay small.

Even if Scratch is aimed for beginners, it is still for all types of people. Scratch is meant to be a programming language like a room with a “low floor”(easy for beginners to learn) and “wide walls”(lots of capabilities to make anything people want).
Although Scratch is meant as a programming language for beginners, it still isn't fair to simply deflect many complex suggestions just because they could make beginners confused. Plus, from the experience of many users in this topic and across the forum, if they see a complex block they don't understand, they just ignore it.

Its like saying somebody already struggling to keep their home maintained should be focusing on building an ADU on top of it instead, and is lazy for not doing so.
You forgot the crucial part: if that person keeps struggling to keep their home maintained and doesn't get help, one single disaster would ruin their life. This is what's happening with Scratch. We can't stay in this state forever. If something happens, Scratch disappears.

This is just more support for my point. Scratch doesn't have time to fuss with much else, they need to fix what is going on and are working to do so. But then there are people asking for them to build an ADU instead of covering what they need to.

This doesn't even object what I said.. bruh.

They will need money, and they rely on their profit from the donations/membership.. Which is what they don't have because the ST-community relationship isn't that much. I think the ST should interact in the community, instead of just interacting with.

Yes, and that is part of why I partially go against the “Too complex” reason.

However, some rejected suggestions for that reason could've been too complex for both beginners and experienced scratchers.

Its a mixed bag there.
