While Apple isn't right on everything, they are a business, and they have the responsibility to decide what they will provide and what they won't.

If they can't change X because it will screw over critical application group Y, then developers can complain as much as they want until they have some practical way to deal with that. If they were constantly screwing over Y, where Y was different depending on the problem, they could eventually screw up all of the apps, users, and developers.

Yes, developers on Apple platform need to be more vocal with their criticism and, if necessary, even boycott their platforms to be heard.

These are people that are not Apple developers however, they're cross platform developers, and support Mac OS so long as the burden is not too great (or simply allow others to do the work of supporting Mac OS in some cases).
