Great if this feedback is from users; not great if it's from somebody who's just been waiting for you to finish it so that they can sell it. Unfortunately in a big-company environment like the one I work in, the initial and dominant feedback is usually from the latter.

I guess I'm just not as cynical as that, or maybe I'm more clear eyed about my role in the chain of GTM, but I don't see what's so "unfortunate" about the scenario you described.
