Perhaps what actually happens is that the people who actually care, the ones that have a strong opinion either way, will take the time to vote and comment. In terms of this feature, if it is done correctly, those who don't want to use it, won't find their experience changing much, those who want to use it can. Perhaps implementing it, even with an "opt-in" option for a short time will allow for a better poll. "Do you use the feature?" rather than "would you?". I can't really see a negative effect of adding this feature. Just a positive for some, perhaps many.
