Oh it absolutely is. But two years, people have their limits when
assuming good faith.

Do you think they'll get more paying customers basically ignoring a
thousand + 1 people?

The community and it's voice matters - ignoring it will just cause
people to not support Ubuntu. Support comes in many forms, money is just
one of them. Support contracts aren't the only method either, people
will take their donations elsewhere, they will influence the companies
they work for not to choose Ubuntu. Some people will switch
distributions, they will not recommend Ubuntu and might not even help
people using Ubuntu. The effect is really not something to simply scoff
at.

And I can't not mention how it absolutely is not in the spirit of FOSS
to exclude people who are less well off. "If you don't pay, don't dare
say anything" is such a privileged attitude.
