Sorry you get that impression. As one of the maintainers, my impression is that each decision happens in good faith, and usually follows a controversial discussion, which puts user experience on par with maintainers’s well-being.
Examples off the top of my head:

That’s not to say your feelings aren’t valid. I can see how some unpopular decisions may come across as rude, thoughtless or selfish. I’m aware that this is still a huge issue, and my feeling is that we still have a lot to learn in order to get better and more transparent at communicating.
I’m thankful for feedback like yours (even though I strongly disagree with the part that I’ve quoted). You can be sure any such feedback has a real, positive impact on where we’re heading as a project.
