As the OP has asked for this thread to be closed, I am now closing it.
Before doing so, I would like to add…
No one here is privvy to our business or how it is run, so anything said above is pure conjecture with little basis in reality. You are free to believe what you will, but I caution others to take anything someone who isn’t a developer says about our internal practices with a grain of salt.
Please be civil to each other, this thread is inflammatory and tip toeing the line of what is appropriate. However, as mentioned above, the OP wants it closed, so I am closing it now.
