Turning off conversation view has been an option for a long time now, and it is the result of Google listening to peoples suggestions (call them complaints if you like, I prefer to work with people, not against them), and is proof the Google does listen to it's users. However, those suggestions need to be made through the right place, the official suggestion page, not postings in a user's group that has never been an official source for company solved problems. As a user's group, we're just fellow users like yourself, offering suggestions and help for situations you propose (and general discussion if that is what you wish).
If you don't want suggestions from fellow users, then you are free to unsubscribe. If you don't like a particular poster's methods or attitude, you are free to ignore them, or if it's bad enough, contact the list owner at the link provided on the group's web page.
