I know I’m nitpicking here, but for a game that is as highly praised as this, I expect it also to nail all those minor things that other games have already figured out already

You realize that smaller companies have to do triage and prioritize what they're working on, yes? Take bugs/enhancements in a certain order? And usually the major things get taken care of first before the minor things are.

Also, some of the things you ask for, they may just not agree with you as being needed in the game.

Have you submitted that list to them for their consideration, directly (Github, etc.)?
