Bingo, you got it! With one big exception, most users with other printers are fair enough to understand that they got and use an enterprise-grade software for free with their China printers and are happy that Ultimaker still offers Cura for everyone at no charge. Even when Cura is not fully optimized for their specific printer type.
But why do you use Cura when it is so bad? It would be better for you to use the slicer software from your printer vendor. Then you can expect 100% support for all features you need and don't need to spend time ranting about things that have been deprecated and unsupported for years. If your vendor has no slicer software, yes, that's a problem, but certainly not the problem of Ultimaker or the community.
So please cool down. Feel free to use Cura if you are happy with it or use the 4.x version if it fits better for you, or use something else if not, but it is annoying to endless discuss such things.
just my two cents; Ultimaker decided to offer Cura free of charge, no one could disagree if Ultimaker ask money for Cura, but maybe a lot of users will change slicer; and a lot of tester will not test the software; test is not free of charge
