I wish would could see a poll of everyone of RB's users to verify your
(sadly, probably correct) assumptions. I also wonder how many have

I did run a poll of users a while back.

It's not 100% as I don't have access to that list and even if I did I
doubt every user would fill it in.
What I wish I knew was whether this was a statistically valid sample
size.
Unfortunately I know a number of people that have used RB for a long
time that have said "if only I could find something else ..."
Some have and have departed for other tools
Some have not and remain customers but only grudgingly
